19 // This file contains Abseil configuration options for setting specific
20 // implementations instead of letting Abseil determine which implementation to
21 // use at compile-time. Setting these options may be useful for package or build
22 // managers who wish to guarantee ABI stability within binary builds (which are
23 // otherwise difficult to enforce).
24 //
25 // *** IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PACKAGE MANAGERS:  It is important that
26 // maintainers of package managers who wish to package Abseil read and
27 // understand this file! ***
28 //
29 // Abseil contains a number of possible configuration endpoints, based on
30 // parameters such as the detected platform, language version, or command-line
31 // flags used to invoke the underlying binary. As is the case with all
32 // libraries, binaries which contain Abseil code must ensure that separate
33 // packages use the same compiled copy of Abseil to avoid a diamond dependency
34 // problem, which can occur if two packages built with different Abseil
35 // configuration settings are linked together. Diamond dependency problems in
36 // C++ may manifest as violations to the One Definition Rule (ODR) (resulting in
37 // linker errors), or undefined behavior (resulting in crashes).
38 //
39 // Diamond dependency problems can be avoided if all packages utilize the same
40 // exact version of Abseil. Building from source code with the same compilation
41 // parameters is the easiest way to avoid such dependency problems. However, for
42 // package managers who cannot control such compilation parameters, we are
43 // providing the file to allow you to inject ABI (Application Binary Interface)
44 // stability across builds. Settings options in this file will neither change
45 // API nor ABI, providing a stable copy of Abseil between packages.
46 //
47 // Care must be taken to keep options within these configurations isolated
48 // from any other dynamic settings, such as command-line flags which could alter
49 // these options. This file is provided specifically to help build and package
50 // managers provide a stable copy of Abseil within their libraries and binaries;
51 // other developers should not have need to alter the contents of this file.

54 // Usage
55 // -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
56 //
57 // For any particular package release, set the appropriate definitions within
58 // this file to whatever value makes the most sense for your package(s). Note
59 // that, by default, most of these options, at the moment, affect the
60 // implementation of types; future options may affect other implementation
61 // details.
62 //
63 // NOTE: the defaults within this file all assume that Abseil can select the
64 // proper Abseil implementation at compile-time, which will not be sufficient
65 // to guarantee ABI stability to package managers.
