// This header file defines the `absl::FunctionRef` type for holding a
// non-owning reference to an object of any invocable type. This function
// reference is typically most useful as a type-erased argument type for
// accepting function types that neither take ownership nor copy the type; using
// the reference type in this case avoids a copy and an allocation. Best
// practices of other non-owning reference-like objects (such as
// `absl::string_view`) apply here.
//
// An `absl::FunctionRef` is similar in usage to a `std::function` but has the
// following differences:
//
// * It doesn't own the underlying object.
// * It doesn't have a null or empty state.
// * It never performs deep copies or allocations.
// * It's much faster and cheaper to construct.
// * It's trivially copyable and destructable.
//
// Generally, `absl::FunctionRef` should not be used as a return value, data
// member, or to initialize a `std::function`. Such usages will often lead to
// problematic lifetime issues. Once you convert something to an
// `absl::FunctionRef` you cannot make a deep copy later.
//
// This class is suitable for use wherever a "const std::function<>&"
// would be used without making a copy. ForEach functions and other versions of
// the visitor pattern are a good example of when this class should be used.
//
// This class is trivial to copy and should be passed by value.

// An `absl::FunctionRef` is a lightweight wrapper to any invocable object with
// a compatible signature. Generally, an `absl::FunctionRef` should only be used
// as an argument type and should be preferred as an argument over a const
// reference to a `std::function`. `absl::FunctionRef` itself does not allocate,
// although the wrapped invocable may.
//
// Example:
//
// // The following function takes a function callback by const reference
// bool Visitor(const std::function<void(my_proto&,
// absl::string_view)>& callback);
//
// // Assuming that the function is not stored or otherwise copied, it can be
// // replaced by an `absl::FunctionRef`:
// bool Visitor(absl::FunctionRef<void(my_proto&, absl::string_view)>
// callback);
//
// Note: the assignment operator within an `absl::FunctionRef` is intentionally
// deleted to prevent misuse; because the `absl::FunctionRef` does not own the
// underlying type, assignment likely indicates misuse.
