10 // A pointer value is captured if the function makes a copy of any part of the
11 // pointer that outlives the call. Not being captured means, more or less, that
12 // the pointer is only dereferenced and not stored in a global. Returning part
13 // of the pointer as the function return value may or may not count as capturing
14 // the pointer, depending on the context.
