Clang-tidy: False positive readability-redundant-inline-specifier

[joto]

clang-tidy shows "readability-redundant-inline-specifier" messages for methods defined outside the class in a header file. But it should not do that, because it violates the one-definition-rule. Usually those definitions would be in a cpp file not a header file, but sometimes they are not, in a header-only library for instance.

Can you please provide a small example to reproduce?
