Assigning NULL to parmeter dcb has no effect outside of the
inlined function.

Sorry.
An inline function will be inserted into the calling function. Why
"Assigning NULL to parmeter dcb has no effect outside of the
inlined function." ?

It doesn't do anything to "dcb" in the calling function, that's not
how inlining works.

The inlined function behaves exactly as if it were called as a
non-inline function from the perspective of side effects visible to
the program.
