Defining class methods

I know you are supposed to put the class declaration in a .h file and put the definition in a .cpp file but is it wrong to define small class methods in the .h file with the declaration? MS VC++ Toolkit 2003 doesn't seem to mind but should I avoid doing it?

When I say small I mean something like this:

Code:

---

class whatever{
  int x;

  public:
    int get_x(){
      return x;
    }
};

---

There is nothing wrong with doing that I believe. It is more a stylistic issue than a correctness issue. Because if you are defining inline functions and such you can only define them in the header.

ok thx
