Description Morten Welinder 2004-08-11 13:55:26 UTC 
When compiling gutils.c, G_INLINE_FUNC is "extern" which leads to gutils.h
expanding to several "extern" (but not "inline") functions that have
definitions.  I don't think that is kosher.

Why isn't G_INLINE_FUNC just empty?

extern gint
g_bit_nth_msf (gulong mask,
	       gint   nth_bit)

	Fix the inlining magic.  (#157536, Jens Hatlak, and
	#149907, Morten Welinder)
	
	* configure.in: Define G_CAN_INLINE in glibconfig.h

	* glib/gutils.h: Streamline the inlining magic a bit,
	don't use extern when implementing the non-inlined 
	version.
