an to split the operations into multiple C++ source

<LI> Currently, ACE inlines many of its methods, which tradesoff run-time
   performance for larger footprint.  We propose to examine the contents
   of inlined files in ACE, and evaluate whether inlining is required in
   every instance.  ACE aggressively inlined functions to get better
   performance from the tool chains, but this has lead to
