543	* this compiler feature when present.
544	*
545	* A few notes about the usage:
546	*
547	* - Generally, use RT_UNLIKELY() with error condition checks (unless you
548	* have some _strong_ reason to do otherwise, in which case document it),
549	* and/or RT_LIKELY() with success condition checks, assuming you want
550	* to optimize for the success path.
551	*
552	* - Other than that, if you don't know the likelihood of a test succeeding
553	* from empirical or other 'hard' evidence, don't make predictions unless
554	* you happen to be a Dirk Gently.
555	*
556	* - These macros are meant to be used in places that get executed a lot. It
557	* is wasteful to make predictions in code that is executed seldomly (e.g.
558	* at subsystem initialization time) as the basic block reording that this
559	* affecs can often generate larger code.
560	*
561	* - Note that RT_SUCCESS() and RT_FAILURE() already makes use of RT_LIKELY()
562	* and RT_UNLIKELY(). Should you wish for prediction free status checks,
563	* use the RT_SUCCESS_NP() and RT_FAILURE_NP() macros instead.
