Weak binding of member functions

Hello


My question is regarding "weak external symbols". Consider the
following eg.


class test
{
            public :
                      int func1(void); {cout <<"func1";}
                      int func2(void);
}


int test :: func2(void)
{
          cout <<"func2";
}


I compiled this piece of code using the CC for PPC processor, version
"cygnus-2.7.2-960126 egcs-971225". The readelf output shows that the
func1 has weak binding and func2 has normal global binding. Please let
me know why is the function whos implementation is with in the class
definition has weak binding and the one with its implementatin outside
the class definition has normal global binding.
