This uses the macro on record types and inline constexpr variables. The
tagged declarations are very likely to change in future versions of
libc++:
- __fields are internal types used to control the formatter's parse
functions which fields to expect. Newer formatters may add new fields.
For example the filesystem::path formatter accepted in the recent Tokyo
meeting added a new 'g' flag, which differs from the 'g' type.
- The Unicode tables. The number of entries in these table likely differ
between Unicode versions. The tables contain only a part of all Unicode
properties. Typically they are stored in a 32-bit entry where some bits
contain the properties and other bits the size of the range. Changes in
the Unicode or C++ algorithms may require more properties to be
available in C++. This may affect the number of bits available in the
range. If needed, other declarations get the macro. This is mainly a
first time to review this approach.
This was originally https://reviews.llvm.org/D143494 where a new macro
_LIBCPP_HIDE_FROM_ABI_TYPE was defined. Testing revealed the existing
macro _LIBCPP_HIDE_FROM_ABI could be used. The "parts" of the macro that
do not affect records are not harmful. Based on this information the
existing macro was used and additional documentation was written.
This is in preparation for clang-formatting the whole code base. These
annotations are required either to avoid clang-format bugs or because
the manually formatted code is significantly more readable than the
clang-formatted alternative. All in all, it seems like very few
annotations are required, which means that clang-format is doing a very
good job in most cases.
VSCode's Pylance extension informed me, and text searching confirmed,
that these imports are unused. I believe we should be able to remove
them harmlessly.
This change is almost fully mechanical. The only interesting change is in `generate_feature_test_macro_components.py` to generate `_LIBCPP_STD_VER >=` instead. To avoid churn in the git-blame this commit should be added to the `.git-blame-ignore-revs` once committed.
