30 // macro is useful when you wish to preserve the existing function order within
31 // a stack trace for logging, debugging, or profiling purposes.
32 //
33 // Example:
34 //
35 //   int f() {
36 //     int result = g();
37 //     ABSL_BLOCK_TAIL_CALL_OPTIMIZATION();
38 //     return result;

60 // aligned on a cacheline boundary with `ABSL_CACHELINE_ALIGNED` declarations.
61 // (See below.)
62 //
63 // NOTE: this macro should be replaced with the following C++17 features, when
64 // those are generally available:
65 //
66 //   * `std::hardware_constructive_interference_size`
67 //   * `std::hardware_destructive_interference_size`
68 //
69 // See http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p0154r1.html
70 // for more information.

99 // ABSL_CACHELINE_ALIGNED
100 //
101 // Indicates that the declared object be cache aligned using
102 // `ABSL_CACHELINE_SIZE` (see above). Cacheline aligning objects allows you to
103 // load a set of related objects in the L1 cache for performance improvements.
104 // Cacheline aligning objects properly allows constructive memory sharing and
105 // prevents destructive (or "false") memory sharing.
106 //
107 // NOTE: this macro should be replaced with usage of `alignas()` using
108 // `std::hardware_constructive_interference_size` and/or
109 // `std::hardware_destructive_interference_size` when available within C++17.
110 //
111 // See http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p0154r1.html
112 // for more information.
113 //
114 // On some compilers, `ABSL_CACHELINE_ALIGNED` expands to an `__attribute__`
115 // or `__declspec` attribute. For compilers where this is not known to work,
116 // the macro expands to nothing.
117 //
118 // No further guarantees are made here. The result of applying the macro
119 // to variables and types is always implementation-defined.
120 //
121 // WARNING: It is easy to use this attribute incorrectly, even to the point
122 // of causing bugs that are difficult to diagnose, crash, etc. It does not
123 // of itself guarantee that objects are aligned to a cache line.
124 //
125 // NOTE: Some compilers are picky about the locations of annotations such as
126 // this attribute, so prefer to put it at the beginning of your declaration.
127 // For example,
128 //
129 //   ABSL_CACHELINE_ALIGNED static Foo* foo = ...
130 //
131 //   class ABSL_CACHELINE_ALIGNED Bar { ...
132 //
133 // Recommendations:
134 //
135 // 1) Consult compiler documentation; this comment is not kept in sync as
136 //    toolchains evolve.
137 // 2) Verify your use has the intended effect. This often requires inspecting
138 //    the generated machine code.
139 // 3) Prefer applying this attribute to individual variables. Avoid
140 //    applying it to types. This tends to localize the effect.

152 // Enables the compiler to prioritize compilation using static analysis for
153 // likely paths within a boolean branch.
154 //
155 // Example:
156 //
157 //   if (ABSL_PREDICT_TRUE(expression)) {
158 //     return result;                        // Faster if more likely
159 //   } else {

164 // taken (for instance, a CHECK failure) to optimize for the common case in
165 // the absence of better information (ie. compiling gcc with `-fprofile-arcs`).
166 //
167 // Recommendation: Modern CPUs dynamically predict branch execution paths,
168 // typically with accuracy greater than 97%. As a result, annotating every
169 // branch in a codebase is likely counterproductive; however, annotating
170 // specific branches that are both hot and consistently mispredicted is likely
171 // to yield performance improvements.
