 15  * This macro obfuscates arithmetic on a variable address so that gcc
 16  * shouldn't recognize the original var, and make assumptions about it.

 18  * This is needed because the C standard makes it undefined to do
 19  * pointer arithmetic on "objects" outside their boundaries and the
 20  * gcc optimizers assume this is the case. In particular they
 21  * assume such arithmetic does not wrap.
 22  *
 23  * A miscompilation has been observed because of this on PPC.
 24  * To work around it we hide the relationship of the pointer and the object
 25  * using this macro.
 26  *
 27  * Versions of the ppc64 compiler before 4.1 had a bug where use of
 28  * RELOC_HIDE could trash r30. The bug can be worked around by changing
 29  * the inline assembly constraint from =g to =r, in this particular
 30  * case either is valid.
