How completely rude of you, Greg, to confuse a good argument with facts :)

But it still does leave the style question: is pow(x,2) clearer than x*x?

Stylistically, I like this best. It's clearer than either.

    static inline double sqr(double d) {
        return d*d;
    }

    distanceSquared = sqr(x) + sqr(y);
