However, // you should prefer the fixed-width integral types (`int32_t`, `uint64_t`, // etc.) we've noted above within flag definitions. // // In addition, several Abseil libraries provide their own custom support for // Abseil flags. // // The Abseil time library provides the following support for civil time values: // // * `absl::CivilSecond` // * `absl::CivilMinute` // * `absl::CivilHour` // * `absl::CivilDay` // * `absl::CivilMonth` // * `absl::CivilYear` // // and also provides support for the following absolute time values: // // * `absl::Duration` // * `absl::Time` // // Additional support for Abseil types will be noted here as it is added. // // You can also provide your own custom flags by adding overloads for // `AbslParseFlag()` and `AbslUnparseFlag()` to your type definitions. (See // below.) // // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Adding Type Support for Abseil Flags // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- // // To add support for your user-defined type, add overloads of `AbslParseFlag()` // and `AbslUnparseFlag()` as free (non-member) functions to your type. If `T` // is a class type, these functions can be friend function definitions. These // overloads must be added to the same namespace where the type is defined, so // that they can be discovered by Argument-Dependent Lookup (ADL). // // Example: // // namespace foo { // // enum OutputMode { kPlainText, kHtml }; // // // AbslParseFlag converts from a string to OutputMode. // // Must be in same namespace as OutputMode. // // // Parses an OutputMode from the command line flag value `text. Returns // // `true` and sets `*mode` on success; returns `false` and sets `*error` // // on failure. // bool AbslParseFlag(absl::string_view text, // OutputMode* mode, // std::string* error) { // if (text == "plaintext") { // *mode = kPlainText; // return true; // } // if (text == "html") { // *mode = kHtml; // return true; // } // *error = "unknown value for enumeration"; // return false; // } // // // AbslUnparseFlag converts from an OutputMode to a string. // // Must be in same namespace as OutputMode. // // // Returns a textual flag value corresponding to the OutputMode `mode`. // std::string AbslUnparseFlag(OutputMode mode) { // switch (mode) { // case kPlainText: return "plaintext"; // case kHtml: return "html"; // } // return absl::SimpleItoa(mode); // } // // Notice that neither `AbslParseFlag()` nor `AbslUnparseFlag()` are class // members, but free functions. `AbslParseFlag/AbslUnparseFlag()` overloads // for a type should only be declared in the same file and namespace as said // type. The proper `AbslParseFlag/AbslUnparseFlag()` implementations for a // given type will be discovered via Argument-Dependent Lookup (ADL). // // `AbslParseFlag()` may need, in turn, to parse simpler constituent types // using `absl::ParseFlag()`. For example, a custom struct `MyFlagType` // consisting of a `std::pair` would add an `AbslParseFlag()` // overload for its `MyFlagType` like so: // // Example: // // namespace my_flag_type { // // struct MyFlagType { // std::pair my_flag_data; // }; // // bool AbslParseFlag(absl::string_view text, MyFlagType* flag, // std::string* err); // // std::string AbslUnparseFlag(const MyFlagType&); // // // Within the implementation, `AbslParseFlag()` will, in turn invoke // // `absl::ParseFlag()` on its constituent `int` and `std::string` types // // (which have built-in Abseil flag support. // // bool AbslParseFlag(absl::string_view text, MyFlagType* flag, // std::string* err) { // std::pair tokens = // absl::StrSplit(text, ','); // if (!absl::ParseFlag(tokens.first, &flag->my_flag_data.first, err)) // return false; // if (!absl::ParseFlag(tokens.second, &flag->my_flag_data.second, err)) // return false; // return true; // } // // // Similarly, for unparsing, we can simply invoke `absl::UnparseFlag()` on // // the constituent types. // std::string AbslUnparseFlag(const MyFlagType& flag) { // return absl::StrCat(absl::UnparseFlag(flag.my_flag_data.first), // ",", // absl::UnparseFlag(flag.my_flag_data.second)); // } #ifndef ABSL_FLAGS_MARSHALLING_H_ #define ABSL_FLAGS_MARSHALLING_H_ #include #include #include "absl/strings/string_view.h" namespace absl { namespace flags_internal { // Overloads of `AbslParseFlag()` and `AbslUnparseFlag()` for fundamental types. bool AbslParseFlag(absl::string_view, bool*, std::string*); bool AbslParseFlag(absl::string_view, short*, std::string*); // NOLINT bool AbslParseFlag(absl::string_view, unsigned short*, std::string*); // NOLINT bool AbslParseFlag(absl::string_view, int*, std::string*); // NOLINT bool AbslParseFlag(absl::string_view, unsigned int*, std::string*); // NOLINT bool AbslParseFlag(absl::string_view, long*, std::string*); // NOLINT bool AbslParseFlag(absl::string_view, unsigned long*, std::string*); // NOLINT bool AbslParseFlag(absl::string_view, long long*, std::string*); // NOLINT bool AbslParseFlag(absl::string_view, unsigned long long*, std::string*); // NOLINT bool AbslParseFlag(absl::string_view, float*, std::string*); bool AbslParseFlag(absl::string_view, double*, std::string*); bool AbslParseFlag(absl::string_view, std::string*, std::string*); bool AbslParseFlag(absl::string_view, std::vector*, std::string*); template bool InvokeParseFlag(absl::string_view input, T* dst, std::string* err) { // Comment on next line provides a good compiler error message if T // does not have AbslParseFlag(absl::string_view, T*, std::string*). return AbslParseFlag(input, dst, err); // Is T missing AbslParseFlag? } // Strings and std:: containers do not have the same overload resolution // considerations as fundamental types.
