                This test file compares the generated code size of similar functions between raw
                COM interface pointers (|AddRef|ing and |Release|ing by hand) and |nsCOMPtr|s.

                Function size results were determined by examining dissassembly of the generated code.
                mXXX is the size of the generated code on the Macintosh.  wXXX is the size on Windows.
                For these tests, all reasonable optimizations were enabled and exceptions were
                disabled (just as we build for release).

                The tests in this file explore only the simplest functionality: assigning a pointer
                to be reference counted into a [raw, nsCOMPtr] object; ensuring that it is
                |AddRef|ed and |Release|d appropriately; calling through the pointer to a function
                supplied by the underlying COM interface.

                The overall difference in size between Windows and Macintosh is caused by the
                the PowerPC RISC architecture where every instruction is 4 bytes.

                On Macintosh, nsCOMPtr generates out-of-line destructors which are
                not referenced, and which can be stripped by the linker.
