Why do you not like another update suggestion for this use case?

* I proposed to adjust the position for one function call, didn't I?

* Do you care for a bit of code reduction?

* Do you prefer to use an optimisation option like “-fmerge-constants”
  (instead of integrating the shown small change)?
