// ABSL_BLOCK_TAIL_CALL_OPTIMIZATION
//
// Instructs the compiler to avoid optimizing tail-call recursion. Use of this
// macro is useful when you wish to preserve the existing function order within
// a stack trace for logging, debugging, or profiling purposes.
//
// Example:
//
//   int f() {
//     int result = g();
//     ABSL_BLOCK_TAIL_CALL_OPTIMIZATION();
//     return result;
//   }

#elif defined(__GNUC__)

// ABSL_CACHELINE_SIZE
//
// Explicitly defines the size of the L1 cache for purposes of alignment.
// Setting the cacheline size allows you to specify that certain objects be
// aligned on a cacheline boundary with `ABSL_CACHELINE_ALIGNED` declarations.
// (See below.)
//
// NOTE: this macro should be replaced with the following C++17 features, when
// those are generally available:
//
//   * `std::hardware_constructive_interference_size`
//   * `std::hardware_destructive_interference_size`
//
// See http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p0154r1.html
// for more information.

// This value is a good estimate based on a real aarch64 machine.

// cache line sizes depend on implementations, not architectures.  There
// are even implementations with cache line sizes configurable at boot
// time.

// space, while underestimates tend to waste more time.

// ABSL_CACHELINE_ALIGNED
//
// Indicates that the declared object be cache aligned using
// `ABSL_CACHELINE_SIZE` (see above). Cacheline aligning objects allows you to
// load a set of related objects in the L1 cache for performance improvements.
// Cacheline aligning objects properly allows constructive memory sharing and
// prevents destructive (or "false") memory sharing.
//
// NOTE: this macro should be replaced with usage of `alignas()` using
// `std::hardware_constructive_interference_size` and/or
// `std::hardware_destructive_interference_size` when available within C++17.
//
// See http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p0154r1.html
// for more information.
//
// On some compilers, `ABSL_CACHELINE_ALIGNED` expands to
// `__attribute__((aligned(ABSL_CACHELINE_SIZE)))`. For compilers where this is
// not known to work, the macro expands to nothing.
//
// No further guarantees are made here. The result of applying the macro
// to variables and types is always implementation-defined.
//
// WARNING: It is easy to use this attribute incorrectly, even to the point
// of causing bugs that are difficult to diagnose, crash, etc. It does not
// of itself guarantee that objects are aligned to a cache line.
//
// Recommendations:
//
// 1) Consult compiler documentation; this comment is not kept in sync as
//    toolchains evolve.
// 2) Verify your use has the intended effect. This often requires inspecting
//    the generated machine code.
// 3) Prefer applying this attribute to individual variables. Avoid
//    applying it to types. This tends to localize the effect.

// ABSL_PREDICT_TRUE, ABSL_PREDICT_FALSE
//
// Enables the compiler to prioritize compilation using static analysis for
// likely paths within a boolean branch.
//
// Example:
//
//   if (ABSL_PREDICT_TRUE(expression)) {
//     return result;                        // Faster if more likely
//   } else {
//     return 0;
//   }
//
// Compilers can use the information that a certain branch is not likely to be
// taken (for instance, a CHECK failure) to optimize for the common case in
// the absence of better information (ie. compiling gcc with `-fprofile-arcs`).
