+// Omit `inline` for bindgen as it ignores inline functions.
+#define __rust_helper
+#else
+// The helper functions are all inline functions.
+//
+// We use `__always_inline` here to bypass LLVM inlining checks, in case the
+// helpers are inlined directly into Rust CGUs.
+//
+// The LLVM inlining checks are false positives:
+// * LLVM doesn't want to inline functions compiled with
+// `-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks` with code compiled without.
+// The C CGUs all have this enabled and Rust CGUs don't. Inlining is okay
+// since this is one of the hardening features that does not change the ABI,
+// and we shouldn't have null pointer dereferences in these helpers.
+// * LLVM doesn't want to inline functions with different list of builtins. C
+// side has `-fno-builtin-wcslen`; `wcslen` is not a Rust builtin, so they
+// should be compatible, but LLVM does not perform inlining due to attributes
+// mismatch.
+// * clang and Rust doesn't have the exact target string. Clang generates
+// `+cmov,+cx8,+fxsr` but Rust doesn't enable them (in fact, Rust will
+// complain if `-Ctarget-feature=+cmov,+cx8,+fxsr` is used). x86-64 always
+// enable these features, so they are in fact the same target string, but
+// LLVM doesn't understand this and so inlining is inhibited. This can be
+// bypassed with `--ignore-tti-inline-compatible`, but this is a hidden
+// option.
