[webkit-dev] …Inlines.h vs …InlineMethods.h

FYI, some time in the near future (maybe this weekend), I plan to do some work to break inline methods in JavaScriptCore out of header files into their own inline header files.

Naming-wise, the existing JSC code has a few inline headers named …Inlines.h and more named …InlinedMethods.h.  On the WebCore side, the few that exists there are named …InlineMethods.h.  I have a preference for the …Inlines.h convention because it is shorter and concisely communicates the intent.  I plan to rename all these inline headers to be …Inlines.h for consistency.  Does anyone object to my renaming the inline headers?

Also, a lot of the existing inlined methods are 1 liners.  I plan to leave these in the original header file.  Here's the convention I'm going to adopt:

1. If the inline method is a 1 liner, then leave it in the original header file.
2. If it takes more than 1 line, then move it into a corresponding inline header file.

I will only be breaking out the inline methods (per the above convention) in the JSC sources.  Apart from renaming the few WebCore inline headers, I won't be looking into WebCore's placement of inline methods for now.  

If anyone has an opinion on this, please let me know asap.  Thanks.

Regards,
Mark
