If I have a C++ class which contains a static member variable, does the accessor method for this variable need to be static as well? Also, are there any issues that might occur if I inline this method?

It doesn’t need to be static, but unless it’s doing something specific to a particular instance of the class, there’s no real reason not to make it static anyway.
This shouldn’t effect inlining in any way.
