Replaced aligned/algin compiler attributes with C++ 11 alignas #842
Conversation
Thank you for the pull request. It would be nice if we could accept this, but the problem we have is that this file is included in some Google-internal files that are compiled in C, not C++. Maybe one day this can be cleaned-up. |
I see. Thanks for reviewing anyway. |
Yes, at a minimum this needs to be documented. I don't have a sense of how big the cleanup would be, though, so it might be possible to just do it. I'll check out what needs to be done and get back to you next week. |
My apologies for the slow response, this looks like a bigger cleanup than I'd suspected. The files that are compiled as both C and C++ turn out not to be a problem, or at least not something I see as a problem through the other problems I've run into. The first is the attribute is accepted in more positions than the The second is I'll start a conversation in the team to see what we'd like to do. |
Hi @mbxx, Thanks for taking a deep look into it. I was not aware of the difference in the accepted position between them. |
I'm not actually scared of the internal cleanup: it's a few hundred files to fix, which won't actually take me that long, and making Abseil more portable is a good thing. The documentation in the header file also explicitly warns about the placement of the attribute explicitly, so I believe this change is okay for open source users. I think this PR is the right direction to go in. I seem to have been wrong about what the TCMalloc usage I mentioned before (https://github.com/google/tcmalloc/blob/c06632feb8dedbd7cf41666b50c8a98f92837904/tcmalloc/tcmalloc.cc#L1914) was really doing: it seems to be an attribute on the function (https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-10.2.0/gcc/Common-Function-Attributes.html#Common-Function-Attributes). We still need to figure out what to do in cases like that, and I'm afraid folks have started to take time off for the holidays. I'll keep pushing on this and post an update in January. Thanks for your patience :) |
Hi @mbxx, |
My apologies for letting this go so long. We chatted about this and came to the conclusion that the implementation is going to be difficult to change and a better route for callers to migrate from Sound reasonable to you? If so, the next step is for me to update the comment to reflect this plan. |

Cool, I've update the comment here: abseil-cpp/absl/base/optimization.h Lines 109 to 112 in 1fdbe1e
I hope this helps. If not, please let me know how I could tweak it to make it a little more clear. |
