Setting these options may be useful for package or build // managers who wish to guarantee ABI stability within binary builds (which are // otherwise difficult to enforce). // // *** IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PACKAGE MANAGERS: It is important that // maintainers of package managers who wish to package Abseil read and // understand this file! *** // // Abseil contains a number of possible configuration endpoints, based on // parameters such as the detected platform, language version, or command-line // flags used to invoke the underlying binary. As is the case with all // libraries, binaries which contain Abseil code must ensure that separate // packages use the same compiled copy of Abseil to avoid a diamond dependency // problem, which can occur if two packages built with different Abseil // configuration settings are linked together. Diamond dependency problems in // C++ may manifest as violations to the One Definition Rule (ODR) (resulting in // linker errors), or undefined behavior (resulting in crashes). // // Diamond dependency problems can be avoided if all packages utilize the same // exact version of Abseil. Building from source code with the same compilation // parameters is the easiest way to avoid such dependency problems. However, for // package managers who cannot control such compilation parameters, we are // providing the file to allow you to inject ABI (Application Binary Interface) // stability across builds. Settings options in this file will neither change // API nor ABI, providing a stable copy of Abseil between packages. // // Care must be taken to keep options within these configurations isolated // from any other dynamic settings, such as command-line flags which could alter // these options. This file is provided specifically to help build and package // managers provide a stable copy of Abseil within their libraries and binaries; // other developers should not have need to alter the contents of this file. // // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Usage // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- // // For any particular package release, set the appropriate definitions within // this file to whatever value makes the most sense for your package(s). Note // that, by default, most of these options, at the moment, affect the // implementation of types; future options may affect other implementation // details. // // NOTE: the defaults within this file all assume that Abseil can select the // proper Abseil implementation at compile-time, which will not be sufficient // to guarantee ABI stability to package managers. #ifndef ABSL_BASE_OPTIONS_H_ #define ABSL_BASE_OPTIONS_H_ // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Type Compatibility Options // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- // // ABSL_OPTION_USE_STD_ANY // // This option controls whether absl::any is implemented as an alias to // std::any, or as an independent implementation. // // A value of 0 means to use Abseil's implementation.
