i know, the compiler doesn't have to follow the hint ... but with the
likely/unlikely profiling, not the execution time is profiled, but
whether the branch hint is pointing to the right direction on my machine
... if the assembly is actually affected does probably depend on the
compiler version, instruction set, cpu tuning ...
