Re: XCode Falls Short - for now

Maybe this explains Windows engineers tendency to put all their C++ code in the .h files? Almost every Windows port job I work on has 50-75% of the C++ source inlined in the .h files. I've never been able to get an explanation as to why I see this so often... that's got to put a lot of pressure on the linker to strip out all the duplicate code generated in each object file.

I doubt that has anything to do with it. The more code the compiler can see, the better it can optimize that code. Interprocedural optimization is hard enough, but when you have code that has already been compiled into machine code (in object files), you lose all of the structure that you had at the source level.
