Why not simply avoid the error check for inlines.  Solaris
doesn't seem to add a check, it just does the conversion.
The non-inlined versions do error checking.

Although standard permit this, it will cause lots of programs to break
here and there and even may cause core dump. I don't think it is what
everybody wants. Non-inlined versions a) not used nowdays b) must be exact
as inlined.

If programs are incorrectly written, and they use inlines, then
that is not our fault :-)

The problem with trying to do error checking and other
esoteric things with inlines is that it exposes our private
parts to the world.  You can get arrested for that ;-)

How much juice are we really trying to squeeze out of
these inlines anyway?
