v20240722.2: Abseil LTS branch, July 2024, Patch 2

Compare Source

Abseil LTS 2024072.2

What's New:

• Added GoogleTest matchers for absl::Status. These matchers make it easier to write unit tests for code that uses absl::Status.
• Patch 1 addresses a security issue in hash container create/resize.

Breaking Changes:

• absl::AlphaNum no longer allows brace-initialization. This was never intended to be supported, nor is it recommended that absl::AlphaNum ever be spelled in user code.
• The deprecated symbol absl::kuint128max has been removed and should be replaced with absl::Uint128Max().
• absl::aligned_storage_t, which was a polyfill consistent with std::aligned_storage_t, has been removed. std::aligned_storage_t is deprecated in C++23. See https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2021/p1413r3.pdf for a suggested replacement.
• absl::StrJoin now has a absl::string_view overload. This allows for passing a collection of string-like objects without having to convert everything to the same type first. However, this may be a breaking change for users passing an explicit template argument to absl::StrJoin. In this case, simply remove the explicit template parameter.
• vlog_is_on.h is now a public header and is no longer included from log.h. To use VLOG_IS_ON(), absl/log/vlog_is_on.h must be included.

Known Issues

• None known at this time.
