Why does

inline int muli (int i, int j)
{
    return i * j;
}

...

   i = muli(4, 3);
   

basically result in code which just assigns 12 to i but

inline double muld (double i, double j)
{
    return i * j;
}

...

   i = muld(4.0, 3.0);


call the floating point library with the two constant operands 3.0 and 
4.0 and assign the result to i ?

Does anyone know a way to fix this ?

Thanks

Martin
