Don't create real function calls just to dereference pointers
like this.
Instead, if you absolutely _must_ do stuff like this, put it into
inline functions in a header file so that there is no overhead.
But honestly I would just make the core dereference the struct members
directly in the code and do away with these helpers.
Thanks.
