// Recent versions of macOS have changed the signature
// for objc_msgSend(), since its implementation is ABI-dependent.
// With this signature, users must always cast the call to the
// correct function type, and any calls without casting to the right
// function type will be caught at compile time.
//
// A good explanation of why is here: https://www.mikeash.com/pyblog/objc_msgsends-new-prototype.html
//
// The TL;DR is that objc_msgSend is special in that what it does is not touch
// the registers at all and 1) loads the ObjC class corresponding to the object, 2)
// looks up the selector in the class’s method cache, and 3) jumps to the location of
// the method if it’s in the cache. objc_msgSend takes as parameters an object,
// the method selector, then all the other parameters to the method; when it
// jumps to the method implementation, it's as if the method implementation was called
// directly.
// C doesn’t have a way to express this kind of function: the method implementation (usually) uses the ABI
// calling convention for a normal non-variadic function, but the C prototype for
// this has to be variadic. That used to be okay(ish) on x64 because the variadic and
// normal conventions are basically the same, but on ARM a variadic function passes
// all params on the stack, which would be a huge amount of overhead given how many
// times its called (every single method invocation in ObjC).
// The other problem with using a variadic signature is that C does type promotion on a variadic
// call.
