-// This is a pretty horrible hack to allow us to conditionally mark some functions as 'const',
-// without requiring users of this macro to care "libc_const_extern_fn".
-//
-// When 'libc_const_extern_fn' is enabled, we emit the captured 'const' keyword in the expanded
-// function.
-//
-// When 'libc_const_extern_fn' is disabled, we always emit a plain 'pub unsafe extern fn'.
-// Note that the expression matched by the macro is exactly the same - this allows
-// users of this macro to work whether or not 'libc_const_extern_fn' is enabled
-//
-// Unfortunately, we need to duplicate most of this macro between the 'cfg_if' blocks.
-// This is because 'const unsafe extern fn' won't even parse on older compilers,
-// so we need to avoid emitting it at all of 'libc_const_extern_fn'.
-//
-// Specifically, moving the 'cfg_if' into the macro body will *not* work. Doing so would cause the
-// '#[cfg(libc_const_extern_fn)]' to be emitted into user code. The 'cfg' gate will not stop Rust
-// from trying to parse the 'pub const unsafe extern fn', so users would get a compiler error even
-// when the 'libc_const_extern_fn' feature is disabled.
-
-// FIXME(ctest): ctest can't handle `const extern` functions, we should be able to remove this
-// cfg completely.
-// FIXME(ctest): ctest can't handle `$(,)?` so we use `$(,)*` which isn't quite correct.
