This function // reference is typically most useful as a type-erased argument type for // accepting function types that neither take ownership nor copy the type; using // the reference type in this case avoids a copy and an allocation. Best // practices of other non-owning reference-like objects (such as // `absl::string_view`) apply here. // // An `absl::FunctionRef` is similar in usage to a `std::function` but has the // following differences: // // * It doesn't own the underlying object. // * It doesn't have a null or empty state. // * It never performs deep copies or allocations. // * It's much faster and cheaper to construct. // * It's trivially copyable and destructable. // // Generally, `absl::FunctionRef` should not be used as a return value, data // member, or to initialize a `std::function`. Such usages will often lead to // problematic lifetime issues. Once you convert something to an // `absl::FunctionRef` you cannot make a deep copy later. // // This class is suitable for use wherever a "const std::function<>&" // would be used without making a copy. ForEach functions and other versions of // the visitor pattern are a good example of when this class should be used. // // This class is trivial to copy and should be passed by value. #ifndef ABSL_FUNCTIONAL_FUNCTION_REF_H_ #define ABSL_FUNCTIONAL_FUNCTION_REF_H_ #include #include #include #include "absl/functional/internal/function_ref.h" #include "absl/meta/type_traits.h" namespace absl { // FunctionRef // // Dummy class declaration to allow the partial specialization based on function // types below. template class FunctionRef; // FunctionRef // // An `absl::FunctionRef` is a lightweight wrapper to any invokable object with // a compatible signature.
