15  * This macro obfuscates arithmetic on a variable address so that gcc

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.

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.
