- update to 20230802.0
What's New:
* Added the nullability library for designating the expected
nullability of pointers. Currently these serve as annotations
only, but it is expected that compilers will one day be able
to use these annotations for diagnostic purposes.
* Added the prefetch library as a portable layer for moving data
into caches before it is read.
* Abseil's hash tables now detect many more programming errors
in debug and sanitizer builds.
* Abseil's synchronization objects now differentiate absolute
waits (when passed an absl::Time) from relative waits (when
passed an absl::Duration) when the underlying platform supports
differentiating these cases. This only makes a difference when
system clocks are adjusted.
* Abseil's flag parsing library includes additional methods that
make it easier to use when another library also expects to be
able to parse flags.
* absl::string_view is now available as a smaller target,
@com_google_absl//absl/strings:string_view, so that users may
use this library without depending on the much larger
@com_google_absl//absl/strings target.
