Keep in mind that C++ does not reject "static" altogether; only in
this specific context. The reason for it is that in C++, there are
other ways of enforcing similar properties. For example by using
std::array, which has the size as part of its type.

We have quite a lot of public header files that contain static inline
functions that also work well in C++ mode. <sys/utsname.h> is a good
example.

Sure!
