  /// function is defined inline, this rule requires the type data
  /// to be emitted weakly, as if there were no key function.
  ///
  /// The ARM ABI observes that the ODR provides an additional guarantee:
  /// a virtual function is always ODR-used, so if it is defined inline,
  /// that definition must appear in every translation unit that defines
  /// the class.  Therefore, there is no reason to allow such functions
  /// to serve as key functions.
  ///
  /// Because this changes the rules for emitting type data,
