71 * Using the visibility("hidden") attribute allows the compiler to use
72 * PC-relative addressing to call this function. If a function does not
73 * access any global data, and does not call any methods which are not either
74 * file-local or hidden, then on ELF systems we avoid loading the address of
75 * the PLT into a register at the start of the function, which reduces code
76 * size and frees up a register for general use.
77 *
78 * As a general rule, this should be used for any non-exported symbol
79 * (including virtual method implementations). NS_IMETHOD uses this by
80 * default; if you need to have your NS_IMETHOD functions exported, you can
81 * wrap your class as follows:

83 * #undef IMETHOD_VISIBILITY

91 * #define IMETHOD_VISIBILITY NS_VISIBILITY_HIDDEN
92 *
93 * Don't forget to change the visibility back to hidden before the end
94 * of a header!

97 *
98 * NS_HIDDEN_(int) someMethod();
99 * SomeCtor() NS_HIDDEN;

124 * Mark a function as using a potentially non-standard function calling
125 * convention. This can be used on functions that are called very
126 * frequently, to reduce the overhead of the function call. It is still worth
127 * using the macro for C++ functions which take no parameters since it allows
128 * passing |this| in a register.
129 *
130 * - Do not use this on any scriptable interface method since xptcall won't be
131 * aware of the different calling convention.
132 * - This must appear on the declaration, not the definition.
133 * - Adding this to a public function _will_ break binary compatibility.
134 * - This may be used on virtual functions but you must ensure it is applied
135 * to all implementations - the compiler will _not_ warn but it will crash.
136 * - This has no effect for inline functions or functions which take a
137 * variable number of arguments.

139 * Examples: int NS_FASTCALL func1(char *foo);
140 * NS_HIDDEN_(int) NS_FASTCALL func2(char *foo);

404 Why cast to a |void*| first? Well, when old-style casting from
405 a pointer to a base to a pointer to a derived class, the cast will be
406 ambiguous if the source pointer type appears multiple times in the
407 destination, e.g.,
408
409 class Base {};
410 class Derived : public Base, public Base {};

419 it needs to expand the original pointer.
