// This header file defines macros for declaring attributes for functions,
// types, and variables.
//
// These macros are used within Abseil and allow the compiler to optimize, where
// applicable, certain function calls.
//
// This file is used for both C and C++!
//
// Most macros here are exposing GCC or Clang features, and are stubbed out for
// other compilers.
//
// GCC attributes documentation:
//   https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.7.0/gcc/Function-Attributes.html
//   https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.7.0/gcc/Variable-Attributes.html
//   https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.7.0/gcc/Type-Attributes.html
//
// Most attributes in this file are already supported by GCC 4.7. However, some
// of them are not supported in older version of Clang. Thus, we check
// `__has_attribute()` first. If the check fails, we check if we are on GCC and
// assume the attribute exists on GCC (which is verified on GCC 4.7).
//
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Sanitizer Attributes
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// Sanitizer-related attributes are not "defined" in this file (and indeed
// are not defined as such in any file). To utilize the following
// sanitizer-related attributes within your builds, define the following macros
// within your build using a `-D` flag, along with the given value for
// `-fsanitize`:
//
//   * `ADDRESS_SANITIZER` + `-fsanitize=address` (Clang, GCC 4.8)
//   * `MEMORY_SANITIZER` + `-fsanitize=memory` (Clang-only)
//   * `THREAD_SANITIZER + `-fsanitize=thread` (Clang, GCC 4.8+)
//   * `UNDEFINED_BEHAVIOR_SANITIZER` + `-fsanitize=undefined` (Clang, GCC 4.9+)
//   * `CONTROL_FLOW_INTEGRITY` + -fsanitize=cfi (Clang-only)
//
// Example:
//
//   // Enable branches in the Abseil code that are tagged for ASan:
//   $ bazel build --copt=-DADDRESS_SANITIZER --copt=-fsanitize=address
//     --linkopt=-fsanitize=address *target*
//
// Since these macro names are only supported by GCC and Clang, we only check
// for `__GNUC__` (GCC or Clang) and the above macros.

// will always get the XRay instrumentation sleds. These sleds may introduce

//
//   * The file/target is built in at least C++11 mode, with a Clang compiler
//     that supports XRay attributes.
//   * The file/target is built with the -fxray-instrument flag set for the
//     Clang/LLVM compiler.
//   * The function is defined in the translation unit (the compiler honors the
//     attribute in either the definition or the declaration, and must match).
//

// might want to control specifically which functions are instrumented for a
// particular build using special-case lists provided to the compiler. These
// special case lists are provided to Clang via the
// -fxray-always-instrument=... and -fxray-never-instrument=... flags. The
// attributes in source take precedence over these special-case lists.
//
// To disable the XRay attributes at build-time, users may define
// ABSL_NO_XRAY_ATTRIBUTES. Do NOT define ABSL_NO_XRAY_ATTRIBUTES on specific
// packages/targets, as this may lead to conflicting definitions of functions at
