title: pointers-inline meaning?
body: <p>I have come across this while reading a program in C++ </p>
  
  <pre><code>inline Controller* Get_it() { // ... bla bla
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't understand what this means. Does this imply the definition of Get_it function? I have searched for files where Get_it function is defined, but didn't find it. I think that the syntax a* b means that b is pointer to point to objects of structure a, but there is no stucture Controller. There is though a class Controller defined somewhere else. </p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance people. I am new to C++ and I am trying to understand. </p>
