    Description

      LogBuffer::destroy() uses atomic compare and swaps on the LogBuffer reference count to decrement the refcount and destroy the LogBuffer object. However, the compiler (Apple clang-500.2.75) hoists the read of LogBuffer::m_references out of the loop, so it won't work correctly if ink_atomic_cas ever fails:

      __ZN9LogBuffer7destroyEPS_:             ## @_ZN9LogBuffer7destroyEPS_
