4 ===================================
6 Finds calls to ``absl::Duration`` arithmetic operators and factories whose
7 argument needs an explicit cast to continue compiling after upcoming API
10 The operators ``*=``, ``/=``, ``*``, and ``/`` for ``absl::Duration`` currently
11 accept an argument of class type that is convertible to an arithmetic type. Such
12 a call currently converts the value to an ``int64_t``, even in a case such as
13 ``std::atomic<float>`` that would result in lossy conversion.
15 Additionally, the ``absl::Duration`` factory functions (``absl::Hours``,
16 ``absl::Minutes``, etc) currently accept an ``int64_t`` or a floating-point
17 type. Similar to the arithmetic operators, calls with an argument of class type
18 that is convertible to an arithmetic type go through the ``int64_t`` path.
20 These operators and factories will be changed to only accept arithmetic types to
21 prevent unintended behavior. After these changes are released, passing an
22 argument of class type will no longer compile, even if the type is implicitly
23 convertible to an arithmetic type.
25 Here are example fixes created by this check:
30 absl::Duration d = absl::Milliseconds(a);
38 absl::Duration d = absl::Milliseconds(static_cast<int64_t>(a));
39 d *= static_cast<int64_t>(a);
41 Note that this check always adds a cast to ``int64_t`` in order to preserve the
42 current behavior of user code. It is possible that this uncovers unintended
43 behavior due to types implicitly convertible to a floating-point type.
