// TaggedIndex represents integer values that can be stored in 31 bits.
// The on 32-bit architectures ptr_ value has the following format:
//   [31 bit signed int] 0
// The on 64-bit architectures ptr_ value has the following format:
//   [32 bits of sign-extended lower part][31 bit signed int] 0
// Thus, on 32-bit architectures TaggedIndex is exactly the same as Smi but
// on 64-bit architectures TaggedIndex differs from Smi in the following
// aspects:
// 1) TaggedIndex payload is always 31 bit independent of the Smi payload size
// 2) TaggedIndex is always properly sign-extended independent of whether
//    pointer compression is enabled or not. In the former case, upper 32 bits
//    of a Smi value may contain 0 or sign or isolate root value.
//
// Given the above constraints TaggedIndex has the following properties:
// 1) it still looks like a Smi from GC point of view and therefore it's safe
//   to pass TaggedIndex values to runtime functions or builtins on the stack
// 2) since the TaggedIndex values are already properly sign-extended it's
//   safe to use them as indices in offset-computation functions.
