69 //   * `std::hardware_destructive_interference_size`

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

156 // likely paths within a boolean branch.

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