Something like this could be done 'inline', but wouldn't that just be some
sort of macro then?

--------
int i = 0;

blah(int foobar) inline
{
	i++;
	do_something(foobar, i);
}

main()
{
	int var1 = 4;
	blah(6);
	blah(var1);
}
---would translate to-----
int i = 0;

blah(int foobar) inline
{
	i++;
	do_something(foobar, i);
}

main()
{
	int var1 = 4;
	i++;
	do_something(6, i);
	i++;
	do_something(var1, i);
}
[SDCC would then see that 'var1' equals 4 all the time, and use 4 as input
of 'do_something()']

MS make isn't (fully) compatible to GNU make, as far as I know. And I don't
have/use MS Visual C(++).
