Abseil LTS 20250814.1
What's New:
absl::Mutex now contains lower-case method names like lock() and shared_lock() to align with standard C++ mutex methods. This allows absl::Mutex to be used with std::scoped_lock and friends. The old names are still present but may be removed in a future release.
- The RAII Mutex-locker types like
absl::MutexLock, absl::ReaderMutexLock, and friends now accept references to absl::Mutex. The pointer-accepting constructors are now deprecated, and may be removed in a future release.
Breaking Changes:
- Nullability template types, which were deprecated in the May 2025 release, have been removed.
absl::string_view(nullptr), which is undefined behavior according to the C++ standard, now triggers an assert failure. Note that unless you changed absl/base/options.h, absl::string_view is an alias for std::string_view, so by default you will be inheriting the behavior of your standard library instead of using the Abseil implementation.
- Abseil's hash tables now require a hash function that has a return type with size >=
sizeof(size_t).
