+
+In order to hide the APIs which are only meant to be used within a module,
+there are many interfaces which are declared internally within a source
+file (.m/.mm), and several methods which are declared/defined
+internally as well. Adding this attribute enables compiler optimizations
+that may benefit code size as well as performance. The compiler will remove
+the ObjC_msgSend to these calls by devirtualizing the call sites.
+
+**Usage**: ``__attribute__((objc_private_method))``.  This attribute can only
+be placed at the end of a objective C method declaration:
+
+.. code-block:: objc
+
+@interface MYObject ()
+- (void)MYObject_privateMethod __attribute__((objc_private_method));
+@end
+
+This attribute can only be applied to method declarations within a class.
+
+The user can define a macro that provides syntactic sugar for this attribute.
+This macro is conditionally defined depending on the compiler's support for
+this attribute.  If the compiler does not support the attribute the macro
+expands to nothing.
