Add a constructor to allow for global absl::Mutex instances.

This adds a new constexpr constructor to absl::Mutex, invoked with the absl::kConstInit tag value, which is intended to be used to construct Mutex instances with static storage duration.

What's tricky about is absl::Mutex (like std::mutex) is not a trivially destructible class, so by the letter of the law, accessing a global Mutex instance after it is destroyed results in undefined behavior.  Despite this, we take care in the destructor to not invalidate the memory layout of the Mutex.  Using a kConstInit-constructed global Mutex after it is destroyed happens to work on the toolchains we use.  Google relies heavily on this behavior internally.

Code sanitizers that detect undefined behavior are able to notice use-after-free of globals, and might complain about this pattern.

Use a shim #define for wchar_t in msvc in int128.

On ancient versions of msvc and with some compatibility flags on wchar_t is a typedef for unsigned short, whereas on standards-conforming versions wchar_t is a typedef for __wchar_t.  The first situation causes int128 to not compile as you can't define both `operator wchar_t()` and `operator unsigned short()` because they are the same type.

This CL introduces a wrapper #define in order to abstract over the different typedefs for wchar_t.  We do a define instead of a typedef so that we can #undef at the end and not leak the symbol, since we need it in a header.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/dh8che7s(v=vs.140) has more detail about the underlying problem.

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.
