Greetings Gili,

I think what you should do is that you should move your say  
plotpixel and other inlined fuctions to  header files.

The following should be in you Header file which you include. I'm 
using graphics.h for an example.

//file graphics.h

inline void put_pixel(int x,int y)
{
// your drawing code goes here

}

The above code will be in your graphics.h file.

And if i have a file called game.cc which needs to use the put_pixel 
routine i will include the header which contains the inlined put_pixel 
function (graphics.h in this example) like below.

//file game.cc

#include "graphics.h"

void main()
{
put_pixel(0,0)
}

So  when the compiler sees the call to the put_pixel function it will 
replace it with the code in the header file without the overhead of a 
function call. 

I hope this helps and is clear.  Please donot include the source as 
#include name.cc instead copy the inline fuctions to a header file 
and include it.

If this is not clear please tell me (I'm writing this 1 1/2 hours before 
the new milennium!).

Best Wishes to everyone for the new milennium.
