To Lyle: A very bad thing if they aren't inline. So I guess they are inline 
members.

To Lyle: Nothing wrong from you.

100% wrong. GCC is smart enough to generate the debug info to show from where 
he (he for a compiler? forgive me) taked the function inlined. I saw the code 
generated and is greate how even optimized code have good debug info.

Isn't a good idea. At least no for me. I have tons of inline members in my 
classes.
The problem isn't in the inline members and isn't in gdb. Isn't even in gcc. Is 
just the DOS configuration used by DJGPP. You can change it enabling the STABs 
debug information, with this GCC can tell that some function comes from a 
header.

For it you MUST patch GCC.
