/*
* For pointers, Apple M1 virtualized cpu seems to have some problem using the
* ldapr instruction (see https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/23974)
* atomic loads, which is bad. So, if
* 1) We are building on a target that defines __APPLE__ AND
* 2) We are building on a target using clang (__clang__) AND
- * 3) We are building for an M1 processor (__aarch64__)
+ * 3) We are building for an M1 processor (__aarch64__) AND
+ * 4) We are building with 64 bit pointers
* Then we should not use __atomic_load_n and instead implement our own
* function to issue the ldar instruction instead, which produces the proper
* sequencing guarantees
