+// This function is used in vtables to point at pure virtual methods.
+// The implementation in the standard library usually aborts, but
+// the function is normally never called (a call would be a bug).
+// Each of these entries in vtables, however, require an unnecessary
+// dynamic relocation. Defining our own function makes the linker
+// point the vtables here instead of the standard library, replacing
+// the dynamic relocations with relative relocations.
+//
+// On Windows, it doesn't really make a difference, but on macOS it
+// can be packed better, saving about 10KB in libxul, and on 64-bits
+// ELF systems, with packed relative relocations, it saves 140KB.
+//
+// Another advantage of having our own is that we can use MOZ_CRASH
+// instead of the system's abort.
