Isn't it possible to proceed without forceinline, to be able to finish 
the functionality. I understand that you think it's useless for 
performance reasons, but is it enough to get the functionality correct?

Travis CI [1] can be used for x86-64, Linux and OS X. There's also a 
service that uses Windows for their hosts, but I can't remember the name 
right now.
