I have a function that is called all the time by my screen handling
routines in a program.  I'm not sure if TC is placing the two liner
function inline even though I've set it for speed (vs. size) optimizing.
I have been unable to write the function as a macro for all situations-
possibly somebody knows a hack?

static void drawch(x,y,ch)
  int x,y;
  char ch;
{
  gotoxy(x,y);
  cput(ch);
}

I tried useing the following macro, with some success...

#define drawch(A,B,C)  {gotoxy(A,B); cput(C);}

however, the following code won't work...compiler doesn't like
the extra ; at the end of drawch...

if (cond)
   drawch(x,y,ch);
else
   printf("ICK!\n");

Any ideas out there?
