- // In general, objects with static storage duration (such as global variables)
- // can trigger tricky object lifetime situations. Attempting to access them
- // from the constructors or destructors of other global objects can result in
- // undefined behavior, unless their constructors and destructors are designed
- // with this issue in mind.
- //
- // The normal way to deal with this issue in C++11 is to use constant
- // initialization and trivial destructors.
- //
- // Constant initialization is guaranteed to occur before any other code
- // executes. Constructors that are declared 'constexpr' are eligible for
- // constant initialization. You can annotate a variable declaration with the
- // ABSL_CONST_INIT macro to express this intent. For compilers that support
- // it, this annotation will cause a compilation error for declarations that
- // aren't subject to constant initialization (perhaps because a runtime value
- // was passed as a constructor argument).
- //
- // On program shutdown, lifetime issues can be avoided on global objects by
- // ensuring that they contain trivial destructors. A class has a trivial
- // destructor unless it has a user-defined destructor, a virtual method or base
- // class, or a data member or base class with a non-trivial destructor of its
- // own. Objects with static storage duration and a trivial destructor are not
- // cleaned up on program shutdown, and are thus safe to access from other code
- // running during shutdown.
- //
- // For a few core Abseil classes, we make a best effort to allow for safe global
- // instances, even though these classes have non-trivial destructors. These
- // objects can be created with the absl::kConstInit tag. For example:
- // ABSL_CONST_INIT absl::Mutex global_mutex(absl::kConstInit);
- //
- // The line above declares a global variable of type absl::Mutex which can be
- // accessed at any point during startup or shutdown. global_mutex's destructor
- // will still run, but will not invalidate the object. Note that C++ specifies
- // that accessing an object after its destructor has run results in undefined
- // behavior, but this pattern works on the toolchains we support.
- //
- // The absl::kConstInit tag should only be used to define objects with static
- // or thread_local storage duration.
