There is almost never an advantage when declaring variables at the beginning
of a statement block instead of the function start.
The only thing you "gain" is that you don't easily see anymore how much
stackspace is used by the funtions.
So I really suggest to declare variables at the beginning of functions,
except for some rare circumstances maybe. Which is not the case here.
But anyway. Just saw this: Drop the inline statement. There is no
need to inline this function.
