The underscores are not needed.

For the inline version I would prefer this version:

{
	const unsigned char *tmp = (const unsigned char *)addr;
	return (tmp[nr >> 3] & (unsigned char)(1 << (nr & 7))) != 0;
}

Although this would be a good alternative as well:

{
	return (addr[nr >> 5] & (1 << ((nr ^ 24) & 31))) != 0;
}
