EricWF added a comment.

Looking at the rational for this change again, I'm not sure I understand:

> MSVC doesn't provide definitions of functions like std::logic_error::logic_error(const char*), so they are implicitly generated by the compiler as inline function.

There shouldn't be any compiler magic here. Nothing should be implicitly generated. Could you dig up the MSVC source code that declares and defines these types?

>   The inline-ness in the libc++ implementations need to match those of MSVC, otherwise we get an ODR violation leading to a duplicate symbol error when trying to link.

This suggests that MSVC provided definitions are provided as non-inline. If we're getting duplicate definitions, can't we simply omit our definitions?
