why would that be?
In section 7.1.4 the C standard explicitly says:

I don't think that this is necessary.
They only advantage of inline functions, here would be that the
conversion of the arguments would be done with implicit conversions
instead of casts. (For the macros this could be achieved by using
compound literals instead of casts, but well...)
