Description
My code is set up as follows:
main.h
#include "helper.h"
helper.h
#include "subprocess.hpp"
helper.cpp
#include "helper.h"
Error:
Because of this, I get:
main.cpp.o: In function std::iterator_traits<unsigned char const*>::iterator_category std::__iterator_category<unsigned char const*>(unsigned char const* const&)': subprocess.hpp:152: multiple definition of subprocess::util::quote_argument(std::basic_string<wchar_t, std::char_traits<wchar_t>, std::allocator<wchar_t> > const&, std::basic_string<wchar_t, std::char_traits<wchar_t>, std::allocator<wchar_t> >&, bool)'

Solution
This is easily solved by changing void quote_argument(const std::wstring &argument, std::wstring &command_line, bool force) to inline void quote_argument(const std::wstring &argument, std::wstring &command_line, bool force)
