// This is an attempt to hide pointer values from the C++ compiler.  This might
// not stand up in the presence of PGO but that's probably not important.

// g_hidden_pointer is public so that it's limited what the compiler can assume
// about it, and atomic so that we don't run afoul of the compiler's UB
// analysis.

mozilla::Atomic<void*> g_hidden_pointer;

// Call this to install a pointer into the global.

MOZ_NEVER_INLINE void setHiddenPointer(void* p) { g_hidden_pointer = p; }

// Call this to retrieve the pointer.

MOZ_NEVER_INLINE void* getHiddenPointer() { return g_hidden_pointer; }
