Subject: add post "static vs. inline vs. namespace {"

Also includes a bunch of includes to easily add grouped code snippets to
a post.
They were present before, but I wiped them away during the recent major
history rewriting which I still regret about.

+---
+In this post I'll try to figure out whether I should use `static`, `inline` or
+unnamed namespaces for function definitions.
+
+`static`
+--------
+
+It's an old C-style method of defining functions in header files.
+This way, every translation unit gets its own copy of a function.
+What does that mean?
+The most obvious implication that pops into my head is that every local static
+variable defined inside that function gets an independent replica in every
+translation unit.
+For example, the program below would print
+
+```
+1
+1
+```
+
+due to the fact that both main.cpp and proxy.cpp get their own versions of `n`
+from `shared()`.
+
+{% include snippets/section.html section_id='static' %}
+
+In C, this is the only way to share function definitions between translation
+units (apart from declaring a function in a header file and putting its
+definition to a .c file).
+
+### Properties
+
+* Using `static`, you can share function definitions between multiple
+translation units.
+* Each unit gets its own replica of the function: they have different
+addresses, their local static variables are independent, etc.
+* If different translation units define different functions with the same
+name using the `static` specifier, each unit can use its function without any
+issues.
+This might seem like an trivial claim, but there are issues with other
+approaches that are discussed below.
+
+`inline`
+--------
+
+It's well-known that this keyword has pretty much nothing to do with whether a
+function will actually be inlined or not.
+It's used much more often to define functions in header files, since every
+function defined this way will be the same (as in "will have the same address")
+in every translation unit.
+Let's try and adjust the definition of `shared()` accordingly:
+
+{% include snippets/section.html section_id='inline' %}
+
+The same program would then print
+
+```
+1
+2
+```
+
+since both `main()` and `proxy()` would call the same `shared()`, incrementing
+the same `n`.
+
+Weird things happen when different translation units define different `inline`
+functions with the same name.
+
+{% include snippets/section.html section_id='inline_weird' %}
+
+According to my simple experiments, this program produces different output
+based on which .cpp file was specified first on the command line during
+compilation.
+For example, this is the output of test.exe produced with either `cl /W4 /EHsc
+main.cpp another.cpp /Fe:test.exe` or `g++ -Wall -Wextra -std=c++11 main.cpp
+another.cpp -o test.exe`.
+
+```
+main.cpp: shared()
+main.cpp: shared()
+```
+
+If we swap the order of .cpp files (`another.cpp main.cpp` instead of `main.cpp
+another.cpp`), the output becomes
+
+```
+another.cpp: shared()
+another.cpp: shared()
+```
+
+No warnings/errors are emitted, making the situation truly disturbing.
+I tested this with GNU compiler version 5.4.0 and Microsoft compiler version
+19.00.24210.
+
+This behaviour can be easily fixed by either making these functions `static`
+or by using unnamed namespaces (see below).
+
+### Properties
+
+* Using `inline`, you can share function definitions between multiple
+translation units.
+* Each translation unit will use the same function: it will have the same
+address in every translation unit, its local static variables will be shared,
+etc.
+* Defining different `inline` functions with the same name in different
+translation units is undefined behaviour.
+
+Two inline functions might be different even if they are the same textually.
+For example, they might reference two global variables which have the same
+name, but are defined in different translation units.
+{: .alert .alert-info }
+
+`namespace {`
+-------------
+
+With respect to function definitions, unnamed namespaces are, according to my
+understanding, quite similar to the `static` keyword.
+The additional value they provide is that they provide a way to apply `static`
+not only to functions, but to classes also.
+Remember the weirdness that happens when multiple translation units define
+different `inline` functions with the same name?
+Arguably, it gets even worse if we add classes to the equation.
+
+{% include snippets/section.html section_id='unnamed_namespaces_weird' %}
+
+Compiling this program the same way we did in the `inline` example (`cl /W4
+/EHsc main.cpp another.cpp /Fe:test.exe`/`g++ -Wall -Wextra -std=c++11 main.cpp
+another.cpp -o test.exe`) yields different outputs depending on which .cpp file
+was specified first.
+
+```
+main.cpp: Test::Test()
+1
+main.cpp: Test::Test()
+```
+
+```
+another.cpp: Test::Test()
+1065353216
+another.cpp: Test::Test()
+```
+
+I'm not sure why anybody would want that.
+This can be easily fixed by putting both `Test` classes into unnamed
+namespaces.
+The program than reads
+
+{% include snippets/section.html section_id='unnamed_namespaces_ok' %}
+
+After the adjustment, it produces the same output regardless of compilation
+options.
+
+```
+main.cpp: Test::Test()
+1
+another.cpp: Test::Test()
+```
+
+Notice how sharing classes defined in header files isn't discussed here.
+The standard actually guarantees that if a class is defined in a header file,
+all translation units that use it share the definition.
+
+### Properties
+
+* Essentially, unnamed namespaces allow the `static` keyword to be applied to
+classes.
+* Similar to the `static` approach, each translation unit gets its own replica
+of a function/class, including their own local static variables, etc.
+* Defining different classes with the same name in different translation units
+(without utilizing unnamed namespaces) is undefined behaviour.
+
+Conclusion
+----------
+
+Here's my attempt to build an algorithm to decide whether a class/function
+should be defined with either of the `static`/`inline` specifiers or put into
+an unnamed namespace.
+The first question I answer is: is the entity defined in a header file or in a
+.cpp file?
+
+* **In a header** &mdash; Is it a class or a function?
+    * **Class** &mdash; There's no need to do anything.
+    * **Function** &mdash; Do you want it to behave differently for each
+translation unit (may be useful, for example, for logging)?
+        * **Yes** &mdash; Use `static`.
+        * **No** &mdash; Use `inline`.
+* **In a .cpp file** &mdash; Put it into an unnamed namespace.
+
+Tricky cases
+------------
+
+### `static` + `inline`
+
+In case a function is defined as `static inline`, `static` wins, and `inline`
+is ignored.
+The program below outputs
+
+```
+1
+1
+```
+
+{% include snippets/section.html section_id='static_and_inline' %}
+
+In general, I can't think of a reason to define a `static inline` function.
+
+### `namespace {` + `inline`
+
+If an `inline` function is defined in an unnamed namespace, the unnamed
+namespace wins.
+The program below outputs
+
+```
+1
+1
+```
+
+{% include snippets/section.html section_id='unnamed_namespace_and_inline' %}
+
+In general, I can't think of a reason to define an `inline` function in an
+unnamed namespace.
+
+### Separate method definitions
+
+If you want to separate your class declaration from its method definitions
+while keeping them in the same header file, each method must be explicitly
+defined `inline`.
+The program below outputs
+
+```
+1
+2
+```
+
+{% include snippets/section.html section_id='separate_method_definitions' %}
