Automated g4 rollback of changelist 244998488.

*** Reason for rollback ***

I'm seeing test failures, rolling this back.

*** Original change description ***

BEGIN_PUBLIC

The default constructor for optional<T> is filling dummy_ with zeros (see https://godbolt.org/z/IVea7X for a reduced example), which has a performance impact for large Ts. This comes from the gcc6 bugfix that made dummy as big as T. Because constexpr constructors are required to initialize all members of a struct, we cannot prevent this in a standard-compliant way as soon as dummy has any members (note that clang will happily accept adding a `constexpr dummy_type() {}` constructor...

Because constexpr constructors are required to initialize all members of a struct, we cannot prevent this in a standard-compliant way as soon as dummy has any members (note that clang will happily accept adding a `constexpr dummy_type() {}` constructor to dummy_type to prevent zero-initialization, but this is UB AFAICT).

This all stems from the fact that we're constructing an object by using placement new on dummy_. The solution I'm using here is to do the placement new on the actual data_. This creates a new issue in when T is volatile, because we can no longer use `&data_` to do the placement new. The solution I'm using here is to make data_ a non-const and non-volatile T, and only provide fully possibly qualified access through `reference()` accessors. I think this correctly prevents UB.

Abseil - C++ Common Libraries

The repository contains the Abseil C++ library code. Abseil is an open-source collection of C++ code (compliant to C++11) designed to augment the C++ standard library.

About Abseil

Abseil is an open-source collection of C++ library code designed to augment the C++ standard library. The Abseil library code is collected from Google's own C++ code base, has been extensively tested and used in production, and is the same code we depend on in our daily coding lives.

In some cases, Abseil provides pieces missing from the C++ standard; in others, Abseil provides alternatives to the standard for special needs we've found through usage in the Google code base. We denote those cases clearly within the library code we provide you.

Abseil is not meant to be a competitor to the standard library; we've just found that many of these utilities serve a purpose within our code base, and we now want to provide those resources to the C++ community as a whole.

Quickstart

If you want to just get started, make sure you at least run through the Abseil Quickstart. The Quickstart contains information about setting up your development environment, downloading the Abseil code, running tests, and getting a simple binary working.

Building Abseil

Bazel is the official build system for Abseil, which is supported on most major platforms (Linux, Windows, MacOS, for example) and compilers. See the quickstart for more information on building Abseil using the Bazel build system.

If you require CMake support, please check the CMake build instructions.

Codemap

Abseil contains the following C++ library components:

  • base Abseil Fundamentals
    The base library contains initialization code and other code which all other Abseil code depends on. Code within base may not depend on any other code (other than the C++ standard library).
  • algorithm
    The algorithm library contains additions to the C++ <algorithm> library and container-based versions of such algorithms.
  • container
    The container library contains additional STL-style containers, including Abseil's unordered "Swiss table" containers.
  • debugging
    The debugging library contains code useful for enabling leak checks, and stacktrace and symbolization utilities.
  • hash
    The hash library contains the hashing framework and default hash functor implementations for hashable types in Abseil.
  • memory
    The memory library contains C++11-compatible versions of std::make_unique() and related memory management facilities.
  • meta
    The meta library contains C++11-compatible versions of type checks available within C++14 and C++17 versions of the C++ <type_traits> library.
  • numeric
    The numeric library contains C++11-compatible 128-bit integers.
  • strings
    The strings library contains a variety of strings routines and utilities, including a C++11-compatible version of the C++17 std::string_view type.
  • synchronization
    The synchronization library contains concurrency primitives (Abseil's absl::Mutex class, an alternative to std::mutex) and a variety of synchronization abstractions.
  • time
    The time library contains abstractions for computing with absolute points in time, durations of time, and formatting and parsing time within time zones.
  • types
    The types library contains non-container utility types, like a C++11-compatible version of the C++17 std::optional type.
  • utility
    The utility library contains utility and helper code.
