The /Oi compiler option generates intrinsic functions instead of
function calls only for specified run-time library functions. It does
not generate intrinsic functions for all run-time library functions or
for application program functions.

To approximate intrinsic functions with application code, use the
#define directive or the /D compiler option to define a macro.

For more information on the /Oi option and the list of functions
having intrinsic forms, refer to the "Microsoft C 5.1 Optimizing
Compiler User's Guide," Pages 93-94, and the C 5.10 README.DOC, "Part
2: Notes for the 'Microsoft C Optimizing Compiler User's Guide.'"
