+# ABSL Strings
+
+This directory contains packages related to std::string operations and std::string
+alternatives (such as character-agnostic byte manipulation packages).
+
+## Library Listing
+
+Two library targets are available within this directory:
+
+* **strings** (`//absl/strings:strings`) provides classes and
+  utility functions for manipulating and comparing strings, converting other
+  types (such as integers) into strings, or evaluating strings for other usages
+   (such as tokenization).
+
+* **cord** (`//absl/strings:cord`) provides classes and utility
+  functions for manipulating `Cord` elements. A `Cord` is a sequence of
+  characters that internally uses a tree structure to store their data,
+  avoiding the need for long regions of contiguous memory, and allows memory
+  sharing, sub-std::string copy-on-write, and a host of other advanced std::string
+  features.
+
+## Strings Library File Listing
+
+The following header files are directly included within the
+`absl::strings` library.
+
+## Alternate std::string-like Classes
+
+* `bytestream.h`
+    <br/>Abstraction of std::string for I/O
+* `string_view.h`
+    <br/>Pointer to part or all of another std::string
+
+## Formatting and Parsing
+
+* `numbers.h`
+    <br/>Converter between strings and numbers. Prefer `str_cat.h` for numbers
+    to strings
+
+## Operations on Characters
+
+* `ascii_ctype.h`
+    <br/>Char classifiers like &lt;ctype.h&gt; but faster
+* `charset.h`
+    <br/>Bitmap from unsigned char -&gt; bool
+
+## Operations on Strings
+
+* `case.h`
+    <br/>Case-changers
+* `escaping.h`
+    <br/>Escapers and unescapers
+* `str_join.h`
+    <br/>Joiner functions using a delimiter
+* `str_split.h`
+    <br/>Split functions
+* `str_cat.h`
+    <br/>Concatenators and appenders
+* `string_view_utils.h`
+    <br>Utility functions for strings
+* `strip.h`
+    <br/>Character removal functions
+* `substitute.h`
+    <br/>Printf-like typesafe formatter
+
+## Miscellaneous
+
+* `util.h`
+    <br/>Grab bag of useful std::string functions
+
+
+## Cord Library File Listing
+
+The following header files are directly included within the
+`absl::strings::cord` library:
+
+## The `Cord` Class
+
+* `cord.h`
+    <br/>A std::string built from a tree of shareable nodes
+
+## Operations on Cords
+
+* `cord_cat.h`
+    <br/>Concatenator functions for cords
+* `cord_util.h`
+    <br/>Utility functions for cords

+// This package contains functions operating on characters and strings
+// restricted to standard ASCII. These include character classification
+// functions analogous to those found in the ANSI C Standard Library <ctype.h>
+// header file.
+//
+// C++ implementations provide <ctype.h> functionality based on their
+// C environment locale. In general, reliance on such a locale is not ideal, as
+// the locale standard is problematic (and may not return invariant information
+// for the same character set, for example). These `ascii_*()` functions are
+// hard-wired for standard ASCII, much faster, and guaranteed to behave
+// consistently.  They will never be overloaded, nor will their function
+// signature change.
+//
+// `ascii_isalnum()`, `ascii_isalpha()`, `ascii_isascii()`, `ascii_isblank()`,
+// `ascii_iscntrl()`, `ascii_isdigit()`, `ascii_isgraph()`, `ascii_islower()`,
+// `ascii_isprint()`, `ascii_ispunct()`, `ascii_isspace()`, `ascii_isupper()`,
+// `ascii_isxdigit()`
+//   Analagous to the <ctype.h> functions with similar names, these
+//   functions take an unsigned char and return a bool, based on whether the
+//   character matches the condition specified.
+//
+//   If the input character has a numerical value greater than 127, these
+//   functions return `false`.
+//
+// `ascii_tolower()`, `ascii_toupper()`
+//   Analagous to the <ctype.h> functions with similar names, these functions
+//   take an unsigned char and return a char.
+//
+//   If the input character is not an ASCII {lower,upper}-case letter (including
+//   numerical values greater than 127) then the functions return the same value
+//   as the input character.

+// Unescapes a `source` std::string and copies it into `dest`, rewriting C-style
+// escape sequences (http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/escape) into
+// their proper code point equivalents, returning `true` if successful.
+//
+// The following unescape sequences can be handled:
+//
+//   * ASCII escape sequences ('\n','\r','\\', etc.) to their ASCII equivalents
+//   * Octal escape sequences ('\nnn') to byte nnn. The unescaped value must
+//     resolve to a single byte or an error will occur. E.g. values greater than
+//     0xff will produce an error.
+//   * Hexadecimal escape sequences ('\xnn') to byte nn. While an arbitrary
+//     number of following digits are allowed, the unescaped value must resolve
+//     to a single byte or an error will occur. E.g. '\x0045' is equivalent to
+//     '\x45', but '\x1234' will produce an error.
+//   * Unicode escape sequences ('\unnnn' for exactly four hex digits or
+//     '\Unnnnnnnn' for exactly eight hex digits, which will be encoded in
+//     UTF-8. (E.g., `\u2019` unescapes to the three bytes 0xE2, 0x80, and
+//     0x99).
+//
+//
+// If any errors are encountered, this function returns `false` and stores the
+// first encountered error in `error`. To disable error reporting, set `error`
+// to `nullptr` or use the overload with no error reporting below.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   std::string s = "foo\\rbar\\nbaz\\t";

+// This package contains functions for efficiently concatenating and appending
+// strings: `StrCat()` and `StrAppend()`. Most of the work within these routines
+// is actually handled through use of a special AlphaNum type, which was
+// designed to be used as a parameter type that efficiently manages conversion
+// to strings and avoids copies in the above operations.
+//
+// Any routine accepting either a std::string or a number may accept `AlphaNum`.
+// The basic idea is that by accepting a `const AlphaNum &` as an argument
+// to your function, your callers will automagically convert bools, integers,
+// and floating point values to strings for you.
+//
+// NOTE: Use of `AlphaNum` outside of the //absl/strings package is unsupported
+// except for the specific case of function parameters of type `AlphaNum` or
+// `const AlphaNum &`. In particular, instantiating `AlphaNum` directly as a
+// stack variable is not supported.
+//
+// Conversion from 8-bit values is not accepted because, if it were, then an
+// attempt to pass ':' instead of ":" might result in a 58 ending up in your
+// result.
+//
+// Bools convert to "0" or "1".
+//
+// Floating point numbers are formatted with six-digit precision, which is
+// the default for "std::cout <<" or printf "%g" (the same as "%.6g").
+//
+//
+// You can convert to hexadecimal output rather than decimal output using the
+// `Hex` type contained here. To do so, pass `Hex(my_int)` as a parameter to
+// `StrCat()` or `StrAppend()`. You may specify a minimum hex field width using
+// a `PadSpec` enum, so the equivalent of `StringPrintf("%04x", my_int)` is
+// `absl::StrCat(absl::Hex(my_int, absl::kZeroPad4))`.

+//
+// This header file contains functions for joining a range of elements and
+// returning the result as a std::string. StrJoin operations are specified by passing
+// a range, a separator std::string to use between the elements joined, and an
+// optional Formatter responsible for converting each argument in the range to a
+// std::string. If omitted, a default `AlphaNumFormatter()` is called on the elements
+// to be joined, using the same formatting that `absl::StrCat()` uses. This
+// package defines a number of default formatters, and you can define your own
+// implementations.
+//
+// Ranges are specified by passing a container with `std::begin()` and
+// `std::end()` iterators, container-specific `begin()` and `end()` iterators, a
+// brace-initialized `std::initializer_list`, or a `std::tuple` of heterogeneous
+// objects. The separator std::string is specified as an `absl::string_view`.
+//
+// Because the default formatter uses the `absl::AlphaNum` class,
+// `absl::StrJoin()`, like `absl::StrCat()`, will work out-of-the-box on
+// collections of strings, ints, floats, doubles, etc.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   std::vector<std::string> v = {"foo", "bar", "baz"};
+//   std::string s = absl::StrJoin(v, "-");
+//   EXPECT_EQ("foo-bar-baz", s);
+//
+// See comments on the `absl::StrJoin()` function for more examples.

+// Concept: Formatter
+// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+//
+// A Formatter is a function object that is responsible for formatting its
+// argument as a std::string and appending it to a given output std::string. Formatters
+// may be implemented as function objects, lambdas, or normal functions. You may
+// provide your own Formatter to enable `absl::StrJoin()` to work with arbitrary
+// types.
+//
+// The following is an example of a custom Formatter that simply uses
+// `std::to_string()` to format an integer as a std::string.
+//
+//   struct MyFormatter {
+//     void operator()(std::string* out, int i) const {
+//       out->append(std::to_string(i));
+//     }
+//   };
+//
+// You would use the above formatter by passing an instance of it as the final
+// argument to `absl::StrJoin()`:
+//
+//   std::vector<int> v = {1, 2, 3, 4};
+//   std::string s = absl::StrJoin(v, "-", MyFormatter());
+//   EXPECT_EQ("1-2-3-4", s);
+//
+// The following standard formatters are provided within this file:
+//
+// - `AlphaNumFormatter()` (the default)
+// - `StreamFormatter()`
+// - `PairFormatter()`
+// - `DereferenceFormatter()`
+
+// AlphaNumFormatter()
+//
+// Default formatter used if none is specified. Uses `absl::AlphaNum` to convert
+// numeric arguments to strings.

+// StrJoin()
+// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+//
+// Joins a range of elements and returns the result as a std::string.
+// `absl::StrJoin()` takes a range, a separator std::string to use between the
+// elements joined, and an optional Formatter responsible for converting each
+// argument in the range to a std::string.
+//
+// If omitted, the default `AlphaNumFormatter()` is called on the elements to be
+// joined.
+//
+// Example 1:
+//   // Joins a collection of strings. This pattern also works with a collection
+//   // of `asbl::string_view` or even `const char*`.
+//   std::vector<std::string> v = {"foo", "bar", "baz"};
+//   std::string s = absl::StrJoin(v, "-");
+//   EXPECT_EQ("foo-bar-baz", s);
+//
+// Example 2:
+//   // Joins the values in the given `std::initializer_list<>` specified using
+//   // brace initialization. This pattern also works with an initializer_list
+//   // of ints or `absl::string_view` -- any `AlphaNum`-compatible type.
+//   std::string s = absl::StrJoin({"foo", "bar", "baz"}, "-");
+//   EXPECT_EQ("foo-bar-baz", s);
+//
+// Example 3:
+//   // Joins a collection of ints. This pattern also works with floats,
+//   // doubles, int64s -- any `StrCat()`-compatible type.
+//   std::vector<int> v = {1, 2, 3, -4};
+//   std::string s = absl::StrJoin(v, "-");
+//   EXPECT_EQ("1-2-3--4", s);
+//
+// Example 4:
+//   // Joins a collection of pointer-to-int. By default, pointers are
+//   // dereferenced and the pointee is formatted using the default format for
+//   // that type; such dereferencing occurs for all levels of indirection, so
+//   // this pattern works just as well for `std::vector<int**>` as for
+//   // `std::vector<int*>`.
+//   int x = 1, y = 2, z = 3;
+//   std::vector<int*> v = {&x, &y, &z};
+//   std::string s = absl::StrJoin(v, "-");
+//   EXPECT_EQ("1-2-3", s);
+//
+// Example 5:
+//   // Dereferencing of `std::unique_ptr<>` is also supported:
+//   std::vector<std::unique_ptr<int>> v
+//   v.emplace_back(new int(1));
+//   v.emplace_back(new int(2));
+//   v.emplace_back(new int(3));
+//   std::string s = absl::StrJoin(v, "-");
+//   EXPECT_EQ("1-2-3", s);
+//
+// Example 6:
+//   // Joins a `std::map`, with each key-value pair separated by an equals
+//   // sign. This pattern would also work with, say, a
+//   // `std::vector<std::pair<>>`.
+//    std::map<std::string, int> m = {
+//        std::make_pair("a", 1),
+//        std::make_pair("b", 2),
+//        std::make_pair("c", 3)};
+//   std::string s = absl::StrJoin(m, ",", strings::PairFormatter("="));
+//   EXPECT_EQ("a=1,b=2,c=3", s);
+//
+// Example 7:
+//   // These examples show how `absl::StrJoin()` handles a few common edge
+//   // cases:
+//   std::vector<std::string> v_empty;
+//   EXPECT_EQ("", absl::StrJoin(v_empty, "-"));
+//
+//   std::vector<std::string> v_one_item = {"foo"};
+//   EXPECT_EQ("foo", absl::StrJoin(v_one_item, "-"));
+//
+//   std::vector<std::string> v_empty_string = {""};

+//
+//   std::vector<std::string> v_one_item_empty_string = {"a", ""};
+//   EXPECT_EQ("a-", absl::StrJoin(v_one_item_empty_string, "-"));
+//
+//   std::vector<std::string> v_two_empty_string = {"", ""};
+//   EXPECT_EQ("-", absl::StrJoin(v_two_empty_string, "-"));
+//
+// Example 8:
+//   // Joins a `std::tuple<T...>` of heterogeneous types, converting each to
+//   // a std::string using the `absl::AlphaNum` class.
+//   std::string s = absl::StrJoin(std::make_tuple(123, "abc", 0.456), "-");

+//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+// Delimiters
+//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+//
+// `StrSplit()` uses delimiters to define the boundaries between elements in the
+// provided input. Several `Delimiter` types are defined below. If a std::string
+// (`const char*`, `std::string`, or `absl::string_view`) is passed in place of
+// an explicit `Delimiter` object, `StrSplit()` treats it the same way as if it
+// were passed a `ByString` delimiter.
+//
+// A `Delimiter` is an object with a `Find()` function that knows how to find
+// the first occurrence of itself in a given `absl::string_view`.
+//
+// The following `Delimiter` types are available for use within `StrSplit()`:
+//
+//   - `ByString` (default for std::string arguments)
+//   - `ByChar` (default for a char argument)
+//   - `ByAnyChar`
+//   - `ByLength`
+//   - `MaxSplits`
+//
+//
+// A Delimiter's Find() member function will be passed the input text that is to
+// be split and the position to begin searching for the next delimiter in the
+// input text. The returned absl::string_view should refer to the next
+// occurrence (after pos) of the represented delimiter; this returned
+// absl::string_view represents the next location where the input std::string should
+// be broken. The returned absl::string_view may be zero-length if the Delimiter
+// does not represent a part of the std::string (e.g., a fixed-length delimiter). If
+// no delimiter is found in the given text, a zero-length absl::string_view
+// referring to text.end() should be returned (e.g.,
+// absl::string_view(text.end(), 0)). It is important that the returned
+// absl::string_view always be within the bounds of input text given as an
+// argument--it must not refer to a std::string that is physically located outside of
+// the given std::string.
+//
+// The following example is a simple Delimiter object that is created with a
+// single char and will look for that char in the text passed to the Find()
+// function:
+//
+//   struct SimpleDelimiter {
+//     const char c_;
+//     explicit SimpleDelimiter(char c) : c_(c) {}
+//     absl::string_view Find(absl::string_view text, size_t pos) {
+//       auto found = text.find(c_, pos);
+//       if (found == absl::string_view::npos)
+//         return absl::string_view(text.end(), 0);
+//
+//       return absl::string_view(text, found, 1);
+//     }
+//   };
+
+// ByString
+//
+// A sub-std::string delimiter. If `StrSplit()` is passed a std::string in place of a
+// `Delimiter` object, the std::string will be implicitly converted into a
+// `ByString` delimiter.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   // Because a std::string literal is converted to an `absl::ByString`,
+//   // the following two splits are equivalent.
+//
+//   std::vector<std::string> v1 = absl::StrSplit("a, b, c", ", ");
+//
+//   using absl::ByString;
+//   std::vector<std::string> v2 = absl::StrSplit("a, b, c",
+//                                                ByString(", "));
+//   // v[0] == "a", v[1] == "b", v[3] == "c"
+class ByString {
+ public:
+  explicit ByString(absl::string_view sp);
+  absl::string_view Find(absl::string_view text, size_t pos) const;
+
+ private:
+  const std::string delimiter_;
+};
+
+// ByChar
+//
+// A single character delimiter. `ByChar` is functionally equivalent to a
+// 1-char std::string within a `ByString` delimiter, but slightly more
+// efficient.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   // Because a char literal is converted to a absl::ByChar,
+//   // the following two splits are equivalent.
+//   std::vector<std::string> v1 = absl::StrSplit("a,b,c", ',');
+//   using absl::ByChar;
+//   std::vector<std::string> v2 = absl::StrSplit("a,b,c", ByChar(','));
+//   // v[0] == "a", v[1] == "b", v[3] == "c"
+//
+// `ByChar` is also the default delimiter if a single character is given
+// as the delimiter to `StrSplit()`. For example, the following calls are
+// equivalent:
+//
+//   std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit("a-b", '-');
+//
+//   using absl::ByChar;
+//   std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit("a-b", ByChar('-'));
+//

+
+ private:
+  char c_;
+};
+
+// ByAnyChar
+//
+// A delimiter that will match any of the given byte-sized characters within
+// its provided std::string.
+//
+// Note: this delimiter works with single-byte std::string data, but does not work
+// with variable-width encodings, such as UTF-8.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   using absl::ByAnyChar;
+//   std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit("a,b=c", ByAnyChar(",="));
+//   // v[0] == "a", v[1] == "b", v[3] == "c"
+//

+// `ByString` and matches each individual character in the input std::string.

+// ByLength
+//
+// A delimiter for splitting into equal-length strings. The length argument to
+// the constructor must be greater than 0.
+//
+// Note: this delimiter works with single-byte std::string data, but does not work
+// with variable-width encodings, such as UTF-8.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   using absl::ByLength;
+//   std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit("123456789", ByLength(3));
+
+//   // v[0] == "123", v[1] == "456", v[2] == "789"
+//
+// Note that the std::string does not have to be a multiple of the fixed split
+// length. In such a case, the last substring will be shorter.
+//
+//   using absl::ByLength;
+//   std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit("12345", ByLength(2));

+// Predicates
+//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+//
+// Predicates filter the results of a `StrSplit()` by determining whether or not
+// a resultant element is included in the result set. A predicate may be passed
+// as an optional third argument to the `StrSplit()` function.
+//
+// Predicates are unary functions (or functors) that take a single
+// `absl::string_view` argument and return a bool indicating whether the
+// argument should be included (`true`) or excluded (`false`).
+//
+// Predicates are useful when filtering out empty substrings. By default, empty
+// substrings may be returned by `StrSplit()`, which is similar to the way split
+// functions work in other programming languages.
+
+// AllowEmpty()
+//
+// Always returns `true`, indicating that all strings--including empty
+// strings--should be included in the split output. This predicate is not
+// strictly needed because this is the default behavior of `StrSplit()`;
+// however, it might be useful at some call sites to make the intent explicit.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//  std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit(" a , ,,b,", ',', AllowEmpty());
+//
+//  // v[0] == " a ", v[1] == " ", v[2] == "", v[3] = "b", v[4] == ""
+struct AllowEmpty {
+  bool operator()(absl::string_view) const { return true; }
+};
+
+// SkipEmpty()
+//
+// Returns `false` if the given `absl::string_view` is empty, indicating that
+// `StrSplit()` should omit the empty std::string.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit(",a,,b,", ',', SkipEmpty());
+//
+//   // v[0] == "a", v[1] == "b"
+//
+// Note: `SkipEmpty()` does not consider a std::string containing only whitespace
+// to be empty. To skip such whitespace as well, use the `SkipWhitespace()`
+// predicate.
+struct SkipEmpty {
+  bool operator()(absl::string_view sp) const { return !sp.empty(); }
+};
+
+// SkipWhitespace()
+//
+// Returns `false` if the given `absl::string_view` is empty *or* contains only
+// whitespace, indicating that `StrSplit()` should omit the std::string.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit(" a , ,,b,",
+//                                               ',', SkipWhitespace());
+//   // v[0] == " a ", v[1] == "b"
+//
+//   // SkipEmpty() would return whitespace elements
+//   std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit(" a , ,,b,", ',', SkipEmpty());
+//   // v[0] == " a ", v[1] == " ", v[2] == "b"
+struct SkipWhitespace {
+  bool operator()(absl::string_view sp) const {
+    sp = absl::StripAsciiWhitespace(sp);
+    return !sp.empty();
+  }
+};
+
+//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+//                                  StrSplit()
+//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+// StrSplit()
+//
+// Splits a given `std::string` based on the provided `Delimiter` object,
+// returning the elements within the type specified by the caller. Optionally,
+// you may also pass a `Predicate` to `StrSplit()` indicating whether to include
+// or exclude the resulting element within the final result set. (See the
+// overviews for Delimiters and Predicates above.)
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit("a,b,c,d", ',');
+//   // v[0] == "a", v[1] == "b", v[2] == "c", v[3] == "d"
+//
+// You can also provide an explicit `Delimiter` object:
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   using absl::ByAnyChar;
+//   std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit("a,b=c", ByAnyChar(",="));
+//   // v[0] == "a", v[1] == "b", v[3] == "c"
+//
+// See above for more information on delimiters.
+//
+// By default, empty strings are included in the result set. You can optionally
+// include a third `Predicate` argument to apply a test for whether the
+// resultant element should be included in the result set:
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit(" a , ,,b,",
+//                                               ',', SkipWhitespace());
+//   // v[0] == "a", v[1] == "b"
+//
+// See above for more information on predicates.
+//
+//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+// StrSplit() Return Types
+//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+//
+// The `StrSplit()` function adapts the returned collection to the collection
+// specified by the caller (e.g. `std::vector` above). The returned collections
+// may contain `string`, `absl::string_view` (in which case the original std::string
+// being split must ensure that it outlives the collection), or any object that
+// can be explicitly created from an `absl::string_view`. This behavior works
+// for:
+//
+// 1) All standard STL containers including `std::vector`, `std::list`,
+//    `std::deque`, `std::set`,`std::multiset`, 'std::map`, and `std::multimap`
+// 2) `std::pair` (which is not actually a container). See below.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   // The results are returned as `absl::string_view` objects. Note that we
+//   // have to ensure that the input std::string outlives any results.
+//   std::vector<absl::string_view> v = absl::StrSplit("a,b,c", ',');
+//
+//   // Stores results in a std::set<std::string>, which also performs
+//   // de-duplication and orders the elements in ascending order.
+//   std::set<std::string> a = absl::StrSplit("b,a,c,a,b", ',');
+//   // v[0] == "a", v[1] == "b", v[2] = "c"
+//
+//   // `StrSplit()` can be used within a range-based for loop, in which case
+//   // each element will be of type `absl::string_view`.
+//   std::vector<std::string> v;
+//   for (const auto sv : absl::StrSplit("a,b,c", ',')) {
+//     if (sv != "b") v.emplace_back(sv);
+//   }
+//   // v[0] == "a", v[1] == "c"
+//
+//   // Stores results in a map. The map implementation assumes that the input
+//   // is provided as a series of key/value pairs. For example, the 0th element
+//   // resulting from the split will be stored as a key to the 1st element. If
+//   // an odd number of elements are resolved, the last element is paired with
+//   // a default-constructed value (e.g., empty std::string).
+//   std::map<std::string, std::string> m = absl::StrSplit("a,b,c", ',');
+//   // m["a"] == "b", m["c"] == ""     // last component value equals ""
+//
+// Splitting to `std::pair` is an interesting case because it can hold only two
+// elements and is not a collection type. When splitting to a `std::pair` the
+// first two split strings become the `std::pair` `.first` and `.second`
+// members, respectively. The remaining split substrings are discarded. If there
+// are less than two split substrings, the empty std::string is used for the
+// corresponding
+// `std::pair` member.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   // Stores first two split strings as the members in a std::pair.
+//   std::pair<std::string, std::string> p = absl::StrSplit("a,b,c", ',');
+//   // p.first == "a", p.second == "b"       // "c" is omitted.
+//
+// The `StrSplit()` function can be used multiple times to perform more
+// complicated splitting logic, such as intelligently parsing key-value pairs.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   // The input std::string "a=b=c,d=e,f=,g" becomes
+//   // { "a" => "b=c", "d" => "e", "f" => "", "g" => "" }
+//   std::map<std::string, std::string> m;
+//   for (absl::string_view sp : absl::StrSplit("a=b=c,d=e,f=,g", ',')) {
+//     m.insert(absl::StrSplit(sp, absl::MaxSplits('=', 1)));
+//   }
+//   EXPECT_EQ("b=c", m.find("a")->second);
+//   EXPECT_EQ("e", m.find("d")->second);
+//   EXPECT_EQ("", m.find("f")->second);
+//   EXPECT_EQ("", m.find("g")->second);
+//
+// WARNING: Due to a legacy bug that is maintained for backward compatibility,
+// splitting the following empty string_views produces different results:
+//
+//   absl::StrSplit(absl::string_view(""), '-');  // {""}
+//   absl::StrSplit(absl::string_view(), '-');    // {}, but should be {""}
+//
+// Try not to depend on this distinction because the bug may one day be fixed.

+//
+// A `string_view` provides a lightweight view into the std::string data provided by
+// a `std::string`, double-quoted std::string literal, character array, or even
+// another `string_view`. A `string_view` does *not* own the std::string to which it
+// points, and that data cannot be modified through the view.
+//
+// You can use `string_view` as a function or method parameter anywhere a
+// parameter can receive a double-quoted std::string literal, `const char*`,
+// `std::string`, or another `absl::string_view` argument with no need to copy
+// the std::string data. Systematic use of `string_view` within function arguments
+// reduces data copies and `strlen()` calls.
+//
+// Because of its small size, prefer passing `string_view` by value:
+//
+//   void MyFunction(absl::string_view arg);
+//
+// If circumstances require, you may also pass one by const reference:
+//
+//   void MyFunction(const absl::string_view& arg);  // not preferred
+//
+// Passing by value generates slightly smaller code for many architectures.
+//
+// In either case, the source data of the `string_view` must outlive the
+// `string_view` itself.
+//
+// A `string_view` is also suitable for local variables if you know that the
+// lifetime of the underlying object is longer than the lifetime of your
+// `string_view` variable. However, beware of binding a `string_view` to a
+// temporary value:
+//
+//   // BAD use of string_view: lifetime problem
+//   absl::string_view sv = obj.ReturnAString();
+//
+//   // GOOD use of string_view: str outlives sv
+//   std::string str = obj.ReturnAString();
+//   absl::string_view sv = str;
+//
+// Due to lifetime issues, a `string_view` is sometimes a poor choice for a
+// return value and usually a poor choice for a data member. If you do use a
+// `string_view` this way, it is your responsibility to ensure that the object
+// pointed to by the `string_view` outlives the `string_view`.
+//
+// A `string_view` may represent a whole std::string or just part of a std::string. For
+// example, when splitting a std::string, `std::vector<absl::string_view>` is a
+// natural data type for the output.
+//
+//
+// When constructed from a source which is nul-terminated, the `string_view`
+// itself will not include the nul-terminator unless a specific size (including
+// the nul) is passed to the constructor. As a result, common idioms that work
+// on nul-terminated strings do not work on `string_view` objects. If you write
+// code that scans a `string_view`, you must check its length rather than test
+// for nul, for example. Note, however, that nuls may still be embedded within
+// a `string_view` explicitly.
+//
+// You may create a null `string_view` in two ways:
+//
+//   absl::string_view sv();
+//   absl::string_view sv(nullptr, 0);
+//
+// For the above, `sv.data() == nullptr`, `sv.length() == 0`, and
+// `sv.empty() == true`. Also, if you create a `string_view` with a non-null
+// pointer then `sv.data() != nullptr`. Thus, you can use `string_view()` to
+// signal an undefined value that is different from other `string_view` values
+// in a similar fashion to how `const char* p1 = nullptr;` is different from
+// `const char* p2 = "";`. However, in practice, it is not recommended to rely
+// on this behavior.
+//
+// Be careful not to confuse a null `string_view` with an empty one. A null
+// `string_view` is an empty `string_view`, but some empty `string_view`s are
+// not null. Prefer checking for emptiness over checking for null.
+//
+// There are many ways to create an empty string_view:
+//
+//   const char* nullcp = nullptr;
+//   // string_view.size() will return 0 in all cases.
+//   absl::string_view();
+//   absl::string_view(nullcp, 0);
+//   absl::string_view("");
+//   absl::string_view("", 0);
+//   absl::string_view("abcdef", 0);
+//   absl::string_view("abcdef" + 6, 0);
+//
+// All empty `string_view` objects whether null or not, are equal:
+//
+//   absl::string_view() == absl::string_view("", 0)
+//   absl::string_view(nullptr, 0) == absl:: string_view("abcdef"+6, 0)

+// File: substitute.h
+// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+//
+// This package contains functions for efficiently performing std::string
+// substitutions using a format std::string with positional notation:
+// `Substitute()` and `SubstituteAndAppend()`.
+//
+// Unlike printf-style format specifiers, `Substitute()` functions do not need
+// to specify the type of the substitution arguments. Supported arguments
+// following the format std::string, such as strings, string_views, ints,
+// floats, and bools, are automatically converted to strings during the
+// substitution process. (See below for a full list of supported types.)
+//
+// `Substitute()` does not allow you to specify *how* to format a value, beyond
+// the default conversion to std::string. For example, you cannot format an integer
+// in hex.
+//
+// The format std::string uses positional identifiers indicated by a dollar sign ($)
+// and single digit positional ids to indicate which substitution arguments to
+// use at that location within the format std::string.
+//
+// Example 1:
+//   std::string s = Substitute("$1 purchased $0 $2. Thanks $1!",
+//                         5, "Bob", "Apples");
+//   EXPECT_EQ("Bob purchased 5 Apples. Thanks Bob!", s);
+//
+// Example 2:
+//   std::string s = "Hi. ";
+//   SubstituteAndAppend(&s, "My name is $0 and I am $1 years old.", "Bob", 5);
+//   EXPECT_EQ("Hi. My name is Bob and I am 5 years old.", s);
+//
+// Differences from `StringPrintf()`:
+//   * The format std::string does not identify the types of arguments. Instead, the
+//     arguments are implicitly converted to strings. See below for a list of
+//     accepted types.
+//   * Substitutions in the format std::string are identified by a '$' followed by a
+//     single digit. You can use arguments out-of-order and use the same
+//     argument multiple times.
+//   * A '$$' sequence in the format std::string means output a literal '$'
+//     character.
+//   * `Substitute()` is significantly faster than `StringPrintf()`. For very
+//     large strings, it may be orders of magnitude faster.
+//
+// Supported types:
+//   * absl::string_view, std::string, const char* (null is equivalent to "")
+//   * int32_t, int64_t, uint32_t, uint64
