Just because it is "inline" in the end, the generated code forced the proper order of valuation: condition goes first at then the proper expression. However, "inline" is just a hint, rather than a rule for the compiler. And if there's a place, where the function was not inlined, then the compatibility might break. ... causing to think about a different name. thanks, Dmitry
