23 //   This file define a macro that allows the creation of or emulation of C++17
24 //   inline variables based on whether or not the feature is supported.

26 ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
27 // Macro: ABSL_INTERNAL_INLINE_CONSTEXPR(type, name, init)
28 //
29 // Description:
30 //   Expands to the equivalent of an inline constexpr instance of the specified
31 //   `type` and `name`, initialized to the value `init`. If the compiler being
32 //   used is detected as supporting actual inline variables as a language
33 //   feature, then the macro expands to an actual inline variable definition.
34 //
35 // Requires:
36 //   `type` is a type that is usable in an extern variable declaration.
37 //
38 // Requires: `name` is a valid identifier
39 //
40 // Requires:
41 //   `init` is an expression that can be used in the following definition:
42 //     constexpr type name = init;
43 //
44 // Usage:
45 //
46 //   // Equivalent to: `inline constexpr size_t variant_npos = -1;`
47 //   ABSL_INTERNAL_INLINE_CONSTEXPR(size_t, variant_npos, -1);
48 //
49 // Differences in implementation:
50 //   For a direct, language-level inline variable, decltype(name) will be the
51 //   type that was specified along with const qualification, whereas for
52 //   emulated inline variables, decltype(name) may be different (in practice
53 //   it will likely be a reference type).
