0e3e8be75b3ab243991c9b28a27623d86e4511e6 by Abseil Team <absl-team@google.com>:

Add constructor overloads with signature (Mutex*, const Condition&) to MutexLock, ReaderMutexLock, WriterMutexLock, ReleasableMutexLock, MaybeMutexLock.

These overloads call Mutex::LockWhen, Mutex::ReaderLockWhen, Mutex::WriterLockWhen.

Using the guard classes with these new constructors replaces both manual LockWhen/Unlock sequences and the less-efficient, but popular current pattern of "absl::MutexLock lock(&mu); mu.Await(cond);".

ConvertibleToStringView wastes a lot of cycles initializing members just to reset them immediately after. Only initialize the string storage when needed. This makes StrSplit() 0-30% faster depending on the use case.

Remove the compiler upgrade fiasco inducing -Weverything -Werror.
Switch to a curated set of warnings that may be expanded in the future.

f3210dbee3e8a719cf31706963721722203f90e0 by Derek Mauro <dmauro@google.com>:

Switch clang compiler detection to use to the Bazel supported mechanism

When Abseil launched, we relied on the compiler string "llvm",
which we manually set when we used the automatic crosstool generation
by using the environment variable BAZEL_COMPILER. Today, Bazel detects
clang and automatically sets the compiler string to "clang".

Fixes #732

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.
