Abseil adaptation for KasperskyOS - C++ Common Libraries

This is a fork of Abseil C++ project adapted to be used with KasperskyOS. For more information about the target OS, please refer to KaspeksyOS Community Edition.

The repository contains the Abseil C++ library code. Abseil is an open-source collection of C++ code (compliant to C++11) designed to augment the C++ standard library.

For general information on using Abseil, its features and so on, please see the Abseil website.

About Abseil

Abseil is an open-source collection of C++ library code designed to augment the C++ standard library. The Abseil library code is collected from Google's own C++ code base, has been extensively tested and used in production, and is the same code we depend on in our daily coding lives.

In some cases, Abseil provides pieces missing from the C++ standard; in others, Abseil provides alternatives to the standard for special needs we've found through usage in the Google code base. We denote those cases clearly within the library code we provide you.

Abseil is not meant to be a competitor to the standard library; we've just found that many of these utilities serve a purpose within our code base, and we now want to provide those resources to the C++ community as a whole.

Quickstart

If you want to just get started, make sure you at least run through the Abseil Quickstart. The Quickstart contains information about setting up your development environment, downloading the Abseil code, running tests, and getting a simple binary working.

Building Abseil

For a default build and use, you need to install the KasperskyOS Community Edition SDK on your system. The latest version of the SDK can be downloaded from this link. The Abseil source code has been checked on the KasperskyOS Community Edition SDK version 1.1.0.

Bazel and CMake are the official build systems for Abseil.

See the quickstart for more information on building Abseil using the Bazel build system.

If you require CMake support, please check the CMake build instructions and CMake Quickstart.

Codemap

Abseil contains the following C++ library components:

• base Abseil Fundamentals
  The base library contains initialization code and other code which all other Abseil code depends on. Code within base may not depend on any other code (other than the C++ standard library).
• algorithm
  The algorithm library contains additions to the C++ <algorithm> library and container-based versions of such algorithms.
• cleanup
  The cleanup library contains the control-flow-construct-like type absl::Cleanup which is used for executing a callback on scope exit.
• container
  The container library contains additional STL-style containers, including Abseil's unordered "Swiss table" containers.
• debugging
  The debugging library contains code useful for enabling leak checks, and stacktrace and symbolization utilities.
• hash
  The hash library contains the hashing framework and default hash functor implementations for hashable types in Abseil.
• memory
  The memory library contains C++11-compatible versions of std::make_unique() and related memory management facilities.
• meta
  The meta library contains C++11-compatible versions of type checks available within C++14 and C++17 versions of the C++ <type_traits> library.
• numeric
  The numeric library contains C++11-compatible 128-bit integers.
• profiling
  The profiling library contains utility code for profiling C++ entities. It is currently a private dependency of other Abseil libraries.
• status
  The status contains abstractions for error handling, specifically absl::Status and absl::StatusOr<T>.
• strings
  The strings library contains a variety of strings routines and utilities, including a C++11-compatible version of the C++17 std::string_view type.
• synchronization
  The synchronization library contains concurrency primitives (Abseil's absl::Mutex class, an alternative to std::mutex) and a variety of synchronization abstractions.
• time
  The time library contains abstractions for computing with absolute points in time, durations of time, and formatting and parsing time within time zones.
• types
  The types library contains non-container utility types, like a C++11-compatible version of the C++17 std::optional type.
• utility
  The utility library contains utility and helper code.

Please see the Contributing page for generic info.

We'll follow the parent project contributing rules but would consider to accept only KasperskyOS-specific changes, so for that it is advised to use pull-requests.
