+/* _Py_HOT_FUNCTION
+ * The hot attribute on a function is used to inform the compiler that the
+ * function is a hot spot of the compiled program. The function is optimized
+ * more aggressively and on many target it is placed into special subsection of
+ * the text section so all hot functions appears close together improving
+ * locality.
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ * int _Py_HOT_FUNCTION x() { return 3; }
+ *
+ * Issue #28618: This attribute must not be abused, otherwise it can have a
+ * negative effect on performance. Only the functions were Python spend most of
+ * its time must use it. Use a profiler when running performance benchmark
+ * suite to find these functions.
