// The below methods are intended for optimized use cases where the
// size of the inlined fast path code is highly important. Applications
// should use the `Sample()` method unless they have proof that their
// specific use case requires the optimizations offered by these methods.
//
// An example of such a use case is SwissTable sampling. All sampling checks
// are in inlined SwissTable methods, and the number of call sites is huge.
// In this case, the inlined code size added to each translation unit calling
// SwissTable methods is non-trivial.
//
// The `SubtleMaybeSample()` function spuriously returns true even if the
// function should not be sampled, applications MUST match each call to
// 'SubtleMaybeSample()' returning true with a `SubtleConfirmSample()` call,
// and use the result of the latter as the sampling decision.
// In other words: the code should logically be equivalent to:
//
// if (SubtleMaybeSample() && SubtleConfirmSample()) {
// // Sample this call
// }
//
// In the 'inline-size' optimized case, the `SubtleConfirmSample()` call can
// be placed out of line, for example, the typical use case looks as follows:
//
// // --- frobber.h -----------
// void FrobberSampled();
//
// inline void FrobberImpl() {
// // ...
// }
//
// inline void Frobber() {
// if (ABSL_PREDICT_FALSE(sampler.SubtleMaybeSample())) {
// FrobberSampled();
// } else {
// FrobberImpl();
// }

// // --- frobber.cc -----------
// void FrobberSampled() {
// if (!sampler.SubtleConfirmSample())) {
// // Spurious false positive
// FrobberImpl();
// return;
// }
//
// // Sampled execution
// // ...
