    Does anyone have access to ISO 9899:1999?

    Finally. ANSI sells the standard in electronic form for 18 bucks.

    C99 wants us to add the 'extern' keyword in the function
    declarations. Otherwise, no external linkage will be created
    (because these are auxiliary inline functions).

    Maxim, please let me know whether it works for you.

Wait, before applying that patch I would like to understand what's happening here. In gcc the previous way works, right? In C99, if you put the extern keyword it still won't inline those functions right? If they are moved to an .h file then gcc will probably complain about multiple declerations? If all of the above is true, maybe these inline functions should be moved to an .h file which we'll #include in zend_gcc_inline.c? Damn, it used to be C++ which wasn't standardized enough and now C is being attacked. Although maybe some of the changes are good it's quite annoying.
