c++ - C++ 命名空间中的内联函数

Question

我正在写一个矩阵库。我将我的类放在 namespace SLMath 中。但由于内联函数，我收到了错误。

这些是我的文件..

Mat4.hpp

#ifndef INC_SLMATH_MAT4_H
#define INC_SLMATH_MAT4_H


#include<cstdint>
#include<algorithm>

namespace SLMath
{
    class Mat4
    {
        typedef std::uint8_t uint8; // You know that Its tedious to write          std::uint8_t everytime
        float matrix[16];
        inline int index(uint8 row,uint8 col) const;

    public:

        //Constructors
        Mat4();
        Mat4(const Mat4 &other);

        //Destructor
        ~Mat4();

    //operators
    void operator=(const Mat4 &other);

    //loads the identity matrix
    void reset();

    //returns the element in the given index
    inline float operator()(uint8 row,uint8 col) const;

    //returns the matrix array
    inline const float* const valuePtr();

};
}


#endif

和 Mat4.cpp..

#include"Mat4.hpp"


namespace SLMath
{

//private member functions
inline int Mat4::index(uint8 row,uint8 col) const
{
    return row*4+col;
}


//Public member functions
Mat4::Mat4()
{
    reset();
}


Mat4::Mat4(const Mat4 &other)
{
    this->operator=(other);
}


Mat4::~Mat4(){}


inline float Mat4::operator()(uint8 row,uint8 col) const
{
    return matrix[index(row,col)];
}


void Mat4::reset()
{
    float identity[16] = 
    {
        1.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,
        0.0,1.0,0.0,0.0,
        0.0,0.0,1.0,0.0,
        0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0
    };

    std::copy(identity,identity+16,this->matrix);
}


void Mat4::operator=(const Mat4 &other)
{
    for(uint8 row=0 ; row<4 ; row++)
    {
        for(uint8 col=0 ; col<4 ; col++)
        {
            matrix[index(row,col)] = other(row,col);
        }
    }
}


inline const float* const Mat4::valuePtr()
{
    return matrix;
}

}

但是当我这样做的时候..

SLMath::Mat4 matrix;
const float *const value = matrix.valuePtr();

在主要功能中它给我一个链接错误...

Main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: float const *    __thiscall SLMath::Mat4::valuePtr(void)" (?valuePtr@Mat4@SLMath@@QAEQBMXZ) referenced in function _main

当我从函数 valuePtr() 中删除 inline 关键字时......它工作正常。请帮我...还有一件事在这里不清楚，如果编译器为函数 valuePtr() 给出错误，那么它也应该为 operator()(uint8,uint8) 给出错误，因为它声明为内联？

内联函数应在使用它的每个 TU 中定义。这意味着您不能在 header 中放置声明并在实现文件中定义函数。

7.1.2/4
An inline function shall be defined in every translation unit in which it is odr-used and shall have exactly the same definition in every case.
