Is it possible to inherit constructors out-of-line in C++ so that they don't (say) get codegened in every translation unit? If so, how?

Interestingly, inherited ctors are _not_ specified in terms of additional functions in the derived class, but in terms of how initialization of an object with an inherited ctor works: https://eel.is/c++draft/class.inhctor.init Therefore I don't think the Standard gives you any ways to tweak code generation here... – dyp Feb 18 '21 at 14:40

Unless you just manually implement every constructor you want to act as though inherited. – aschepler Feb 18 '21 at 14:57
