| abseil-time-comparison |
| ====================== |
| |
| Prefer comparisons in the ``absl::Time`` domain instead of the integer domain. |
| |
| N.B.: In cases where an ``absl::Time`` is being converted to an integer, |
| alignment may occur. If the comparison depends on this alignment, doing the |
| comparison in the ``absl::Time`` domain may yield a different result. In |
| practice this is very rare, and still indicates a bug which should be fixed. |
| |
| Examples: |
| |
| .. code-block:: c++ |
| |
| // Original - Comparison in the integer domain |
| int x; |
| absl::Time t; |
| if (x < absl::ToUnixSeconds(t)) ... |
| |
| // Suggested - Compare in the absl::Time domain instead |
| if (absl::FromUnixSeconds(x) < t) ... |
