But in this case the code was similar, but not exactly the same. Additional debug statements are present in the MX31GetRealTime. And on the note regarding macros being supported, I would prefer inline functions to macros. @samuel,

That functionality should have been factored; a template (or even a macro if the language doesn't support templates) would have been better.
