Yeah, that's usually the way to go, inlining can also avoid 
pushing other arguments to the stack on 32 bit which is a big win 
too. But you can't inline asm function, and checking the overflow 
flag needs asm. (or a compiler intrinsic.)

For the library typedef case too, this means wrapping any 
function that returns a struct too which is annoying if nothing 
else.
