In your case `inline` is not actually redundant (at least for a global variable). `const` (therefore `constexpr`) means internal linkage, so every translation unit will just get itself an unique internal copy of this variable. We can see it if we print the address of `x` in different translation units. The addresses will be different without `inline` and the same with `inline`.
