Months ago I sent this suggestion: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-32995 . In short, inlined symbols are needed so that language bindings can be invoked. I participated in a discussion at http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2014-April/016682.html where I was explained it was unreasonable to include the inlines in the Qt binaries themselves. However, there was a suggestion at http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2014-April/016803.html about making inlines separate standard modules and include that in the installers. I would like to hear your opinion and your guides about my possible contribution of such a feature.
