// This file defines an optimized Int implementation for 64-bit machines
// running POSIX. It reserves a 4GB portion of the address space using
// mmap and represents int32 values as addresses within that range. This
// disambiguates int32 values from *big.Int pointers, letting all Int
// values be represented as an unsafe.Pointer, so that Int-to-Value
// interface conversion need not allocate.
// Although iOS (which, like macOS, appears as darwin/arm64) is
// POSIX-compliant, it limits each process to about 700MB of virtual
// address space, which defeats the optimization. Similarly,
// OpenBSD's default ulimit for virtual memory is a measly GB or so.
// On both those platforms the attempted optimization will fail and
// fall back to the slow implementation.
// An alternative approach to this optimization would be to embed the
// int32 values in pointers using odd values, which can be distinguished
// from (even) *big.Int pointers. However, the Go runtime does not allow
// user programs to manufacture pointers to arbitrary locations such as
// within the zero page, or non-span, non-mmap, non-stack locations,
// and it may panic if it encounters them; see Issue #382.
