Some compilers will troll through .cpp files looking for things to inline (Intel's compiler actually trolls through the binaries), but if you want maximum portablity, you will put in-linable code (and templates) in headers.

It is not that old programmers are any smarter or code better, it is just that they have made the same stupid mistake so many times that it is second nature to fix it.
