		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.

		Windows:
			raw_optimized														 31 bytes
			raw, nsCOMPtr*													 34
			nsCOMPtr_optimized*											 38
			nsCOMPtr_optimized											 42
			nsCOMPtr																 46

		Macintosh:
			raw_optimized, nsCOMPtr_optimized				112 bytes 	(1.0000)
			nsCOMPtr																120					(1.0714)	i.e., 7.14% bigger than raw_optimized et al
			raw																			140 				(1.2500)

		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.
