Well I am not sure it is a matter of rope here. The idea that all class
definitions in C++ should be regarded as potentially highly target
instruction set dependent since the programmer is expected to analyze
for a particular architecture what should and should not be inlined
seems a bit gruesome.
There are times when programming oblivious to the details of the target
architecture is exactly the right thing to do, and that should surely be
most of the time when using a language like C++ (otherwise why not write
in ASM to start with).
