a3e58c1870a9626039f4d178d2d599319bd9f8a8 by Matt Kulukundis <kfm@google.com>:

Allow MakeCordFromExternal to take a zero arg releaser.

01897c4a9bb99f3dc329a794019498ad345ddebd by Samuel Benzaquen <sbenza@google.com>:

Reduce library bloat for absl::Flag by moving the definition of base virtual functions to a .cc file.
This removes the duplicate symbols in user translation units and  has the side effect of moving the vtable definition too (re key function)

cd5cf6f8c87b35b85a9584e94da2a99057345b73 by Gennadiy Rozental <rogeeff@google.com>:

Use union of heap allocated pointer, one word atomic and two word atomic to represent flags value.

Any type T, which is trivially copy-able and with with sizeof(T) <= 8, will be stored in atomic int64_t.
Any type T, which is trivially copy-able and with with 8 < sizeof(T) <= 16, will be stored in atomic AlignedTwoWords.

We also introducing value storage type to distinguish these cases.

Ensure a deep copy and proper equality on absl::Status::ErasePayload

PiperOrigin-RevId: 298482742

--
a5c9ccddf4b04f444e3f7e27dbc14faf1fcb5373 by Gennadiy Rozental <rogeeff@google.com>:

Change ChunkIterator implementation to use fixed capacity collection of CordRep*. We can now assume that depth never exceeds 91. That makes comparison operator exception safe.

I've tested that with this CL we do not observe an overhead of chunk_end. Compiler optimized this iterator completely.

327ea5e8910bc388b03389c730763f9823abfce5 by Abseil Team <absl-team@google.com>:

Minor cleanups in b-tree code:
- Rename some variables: fix issues of different param names between definition/declaration, move away from `x` as a default meaningless variable name.
- Make init_leaf/init_internal be non-static methods (they already take the node as the first parameter).
- In internal_emplace/try_shrink, update root/rightmost the same way as in insert_unique/insert_multi.
- Replace a TODO with a comment.

8020ce9ec8558ee712d9733ae3d660ac1d3ffe1a by Abseil Team <absl-team@google.com>:

Guard against unnecessary copy in case the buffer is empty. This is important in cases were the user is explicitly tuning their chunks to match PiecewiseChunkSize().
