I measured and this patch causes a 2% performance regression on the iBench, at
least on Mac OS X (where it is not even needed since the compiler won't
optimize out object pointers like that). I think this needs to be addressed
more along the lines of Anrong Hu's approach, where we keep the compiler from
dropping the pointer. I think copying to alloca()'d memory, or even just
keeping it in a struct on the stack might do it, and something that works for
current MSVC seems good enough.
