/**
* Using the visibility("hidden") attribute allows the compiler to use
* PC-relative addressing to call this function. If a function does not
* access any global data, and does not call any methods which are not either
* file-local or hidden, then on ELF systems we avoid loading the address of
* the PLT into a register at the start of the function, which reduces code
* size and frees up a register for general use.
*
* As a general rule, this should be used for any non-exported symbol
* (including virtual method implementations). NS_IMETHOD uses this by
* default; if you need to have your NS_IMETHOD functions exported, you can
* wrap your class as follows:
*
* #undef IMETHOD_VISIBILITY
* #define IMETHOD_VISIBILITY NS_VISIBILITY_DEFAULT
*
* class Foo {
* ...
* };
*
* #undef IMETHOD_VISIBILITY
* #define IMETHOD_VISIBILITY NS_VISIBILITY_HIDDEN
*
* Don't forget to change the visibility back to hidden before the end
* of a header!
*
* Other examples:
*
* NS_HIDDEN_(int) someMethod();
* SomeCtor() NS_HIDDEN;

*

* - Adding this to a public function _will_ break binary compatibility.

* to all implementations - the compiler will _not_ warn but it will crash.

Why cast to a |void*| first? Well, when old-style casting from
a pointer to a base to a pointer to a derived class, the cast will be
ambiguous if the source pointer type appears multiple times in the
destination, e.g.,
class Base {};
class Derived : public Base, public Base {};
void foo( Base* b )
{
((Derived*)b)->some_derived_member ... // Error: Ambiguous, expand from which |Base|?
}
an old-style cast (like |static_cast|) will change the pointer, but
here, doesn't know how. The cast to |void*| prevents it from thinking
it needs to expand the original pointer.
The cost is, |NS_REINTERPRET_CAST| is no longer appropriate for non-pointer
conversions. Also, mis-applying |NS_REINTERPRET_CAST| to cast |this| to something
will still expand the pointer to the outer object in standards complying compilers.
*/

No sense in making an NS_DYNAMIC_CAST() macro: you can't duplicate
the semantics. So if you want to dynamic_cast, then just use it
"straight", no macro.
