Then you shouldn't be using any compiler but your own or hand code your driver 
in assembler. 

That's the difference between calling a library function and inlining that 
functionality through the compiler. If that routine were inlined - as you 
suggest it should be - then you would truly be including someone else's code 
instead of just relying that it's there. There is nothing stopping you from 
reinventing the wheel :-) but you'd have to do it yourself...
