BEGINCODE

;;

; Probes a byte pointer for read access.

;

; While the function will not fault if the byte is not read accessible,

; the idea is to do this in a safe place like before acquiring locks

; and such like.

;

; Also, this functions guarantees that an eager compiler is not going

; to optimize the probing away.

;

; @param rcx pvByte Pointer to the byte.
