Strings in inlined functions are NOT defined in generated header files

[GWRon]

When marking a function as inline you cannot use a string in there as the generated code forgets to emit the string to the ".h"-file:

Example:

SuperStrict
Framework Brl.StandardIO

Function _inlinedFunction:String() inline
	Return "This String is not defined in C"
End Function

Rem
'this would also fail!
Function _inlinedFunction:String() inline
	Local s:String = "This String is Not defined in C"
	Return s
End Function
EndRem

Print _inlinedFunction()

H:

#ifndef TMP_UNTITLED4_BMX_GUI_RELEASE_LINUX_X64_H
#define TMP_UNTITLED4_BMX_GUI_RELEASE_LINUX_X64_H

#include <brl.mod/blitz.mod/.bmx/blitz.bmx.release.linux.x64.h>
#include <brl.mod/standardio.mod/.bmx/standardio.bmx.release.linux.x64.h>

	return ((BBString*)&_s0);
}
#else
BBSTRING _m_untitled4__inlinedFunction();
#endif

#endif

My GCC:

 $ gcc -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep __STDC_VERSION__ | awk '{ print $2 " --> " $3 }'
__STDC_VERSION__ --> 201710L

So it will go into the ".h" file and there the string (_s0) is not known as it is only defined in the C file.
