/// As the compiler assumes that all forms of Undefined Behavior can never
/// happen, it will eliminate all branches in the surrounding code that it can
/// determine will invariably lead to a call to `unreachable_unchecked()`.
///
/// If the assumptions embedded in using this function turn out to be wrong -
/// that is, if the site which is calling `unreachable_unchecked()` is actually

/// instructions for this situation, including in seemingly unrelated code,
/// causing difficult-to-debug problems.
///
/// Use this function sparingly. Consider using the [`unreachable!`] macro,
/// which may prevent some optimizations but will safely panic in case it is
/// actually reached at runtime. Benchmark your code to find out if using
/// `unreachable_unchecked()` comes with a performance benefit.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// `unreachable_unchecked()` can be used in situations where the compiler
/// can't prove invariants that were previously established. Such situations
/// have a higher chance of occurring if those invariants are upheld by
/// external code that the compiler can't analyze.

///         }
///         // The compiler would normally introduce a check here that prevents

///         // above would reach what we explicitly marked as unreachable.

/// An identity function that *__hints__* to the compiler to be maximally pessimistic about what

/// Unlike [`std::convert::identity`], a Rust compiler is encouraged to assume that `black_box` can
/// use `dummy` in any possible valid way that Rust code is allowed to without introducing undefined
/// behavior in the calling code. This property makes `black_box` useful for writing code in which
/// certain optimizations are not desired, such as benchmarks.
///
/// Note however, that `black_box` is only (and can only be) provided on a "best-effort" basis. The
/// extent to which it can block optimisations may vary depending upon the platform and code-gen
/// backend used. Programs cannot rely on `black_box` for *correctness*, beyond it behaving as the
/// identity function. As such, it **must not be relied upon to control critical program behavior.**
/// This _immediately_ precludes any direct use of this function for cryptographic or security
/// purposes.
///
/// [`std::convert::identity`]: crate::convert::identity
///
/// # When is this useful?
///
/// While not suitable in those mission-critical cases, `black_box`'s functionality can generally be
/// relied upon for benchmarking, and should be used there. It will try to ensure that the
/// compiler doesn't optimize away part of the intended test code based on context. For
/// example:
///
/// ```
/// fn contains(haystack: &[&str], needle: &str) -> bool {
///     haystack.iter().any(|x| x == &needle)
/// }
///
/// pub fn benchmark() {
///     let haystack = vec!["abc", "def", "ghi", "jkl", "mno"];
///     let needle = "ghi";
///     for _ in 0..10 {
///         contains(&haystack, needle);
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// The compiler could theoretically make optimizations like the following:
///
/// - `needle` and `haystack` are always the same, move the call to `contains` outside the loop and
///   delete the loop
/// - Inline `contains`
/// - `needle` and `haystack` have values known at compile time, `contains` is always true. Remove
///   the call and replace with `true`
/// - Nothing is done with the result of `contains`: delete this function call entirely
/// - `benchmark` now has no purpose: delete this function
///
/// It is not likely that all of the above happens, but the compiler is definitely able to make some
/// optimizations that could result in a very inaccurate benchmark. This is where `black_box` comes
/// in:
///
/// ```
/// use std::hint::black_box;
///
/// // Same `contains` function
/// fn contains(haystack: &[&str], needle: &str) -> bool {
///     haystack.iter().any(|x| x == &needle)
/// }
///
/// pub fn benchmark() {
///     let haystack = vec!["abc", "def", "ghi", "jkl", "mno"];
///     let needle = "ghi";
///     for _ in 0..10 {
///         // Adjust our benchmark loop contents
///         black_box(contains(black_box(&haystack), black_box(needle)));
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// This essentially tells the compiler to block optimizations across any calls to `black_box`. So,
/// it now:
///
/// - Treats both arguments to `contains` as unpredictable: the body of `contains` can no longer be
///   optimized based on argument values
/// - Treats the call to `contains` and its result as volatile: the body of `benchmark` cannot
///   optimize this away
///
/// This makes our benchmark much more realistic to how the function would be used in situ, where
/// arguments are usually not known at compile time and the result is used in some way.

/// - Using `#[must_use]` on `fn make_error` can't help because the return value
