// This header file defines an `absl::AnyInvocable` type that assumes ownership
// and wraps an object of an invocable type. (Invocable types adhere to the
// concept specified in https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concepts/invocable.)
//
// In general, prefer `absl::AnyInvocable` when you need a type-erased
// function parameter that needs to take ownership of the type.
//
// NOTE: `absl::AnyInvocable` is similar to the C++23 `std::move_only_function`
// abstraction, but has a slightly different API and is not designed to be a
// drop-in replacement or C++11-compatible backfill of that type.

// absl::AnyInvocable
//
// `absl::AnyInvocable` is a functional wrapper type, like `std::function`, that
// assumes ownership of an invocable object. Unlike `std::function`, an
// `absl::AnyInvocable` is more type-safe and provides the following additional
// benefits:
//
// * Properly adheres to const correctness of the underlying type
// * Is move-only so avoids concurrency problems with copied invocables and
//   unnecessary copies in general.
// * Supports reference qualifiers allowing it to perform unique actions (noted
//   below).
//
// `absl::AnyInvocable` is a template, and an `absl::AnyInvocable` instantiation
// may wrap any invocable object with a compatible function signature, e.g.
// having arguments and return types convertible to types matching the
// `absl::AnyInvocable` signature, and also matching any stated reference
// qualifiers, as long as that type is moveable. It therefore provides broad
// type erasure for functional objects.
//
// An `absl::AnyInvocable` is typically used as a type-erased function parameter
// for accepting various functional objects:
//
// // Define a function taking an AnyInvocable parameter.
// void my_func(absl::AnyInvocable<int()> f) {
//   ...
// };
//
// // That function can accept any invocable type:
//
// // Accept a function reference. We don't need to move a reference.
// int func1() { return 0; };
// my_func(func1);
//
// // Accept a lambda. We use std::move here because otherwise my_func would
// // copy the lambda.
// auto lambda = []() { return 0; };
// my_func(std::move(lambda));
//
// // Accept a function pointer. We don't need to move a function pointer.
// func2 = &func1;
// my_func(func2);
//
// // Accept an std::function by moving it. Note that the lambda is copyable
// // (satisfying std::function requirements) and moveable (satisfying
// // absl::AnyInvocable requirements).
// std::function<int()> func6 = []() { return 0; };
// my_func(std::move(func6));
//
// `AnyInvocable` also properly respects `const` qualifiers, reference
// qualifiers, and the `noexcept` specification (only in C++ 17 and beyond) as
// part of the user-specified function type (e.g.
// `AnyInvocable<void() const && noexcept>`). These qualifiers will be applied
// to the `AnyInvocable` object's `operator()`, and the underlying invocable
// must be compatible with those qualifiers.
//
// Comparison of const and non-const function types:
//
//   // Store a closure inside of `func` with the function type `int()`.
//   // Note that we have made `func` itself `const`.
//   const AnyInvocable<int()> func = [](){ return 0; };
//
//   func();  // Compile-error: the passed type `int()` isn't `const`.
//
//   // Store a closure inside of `const_func` with the function type
//   // `int() const`.
//   // Note that we have also made `const_func` itself `const`.
//   const AnyInvocable<int() const> const_func = [](){ return 0; };
//
//   const_func();  // Fine: `int() const` is `const`.
//
// In the above example, the call `func()` would have compiled if
// `std::function` were used even though the types are not const compatible.
// This is a bug, and using `absl::AnyInvocable` properly detects that bug.
//
// In addition to affecting the signature of `operator()`, the `const` and
// reference qualifiers of the function type also appropriately constrain which
// kinds of invocable objects you are allowed to place into the `AnyInvocable`
// instance. If you specify a function type that is const-qualified, then
// anything that you attempt to put into the `AnyInvocable` must be callable on
// a `const` instance of that type.
//
// Constraint example:
//
//   // Fine because the lambda is callable when `const`.
//   AnyInvocable<int() const> func = [=](){ return 0; };
//
//   // This is a compile-error because the lambda isn't callable when `const`.
//   AnyInvocable<int() const> error = [=]() mutable { return 0; };
//
// An `&&` qualifier can be used to express that an `absl::AnyInvocable`
// instance should be invoked at most once:
//
//   // Invokes `continuation` with the logical result of an operation when
//   // that operation completes (common in asynchronous code).
//   void CallOnCompletion(AnyInvocable<void(int)&&> continuation) {
//     int result_of_foo = foo();
//
//     // `std::move` is required because the `operator()` of `continuation` is
//     // rvalue-reference qualified.
//     std::move(continuation)(result_of_foo);
//   }
//
// Attempting to call `absl::AnyInvocable` multiple times in such a case
// results in undefined behavior.
//
// Invoking an empty `absl::AnyInvocable` results in undefined behavior:
//
//   // Create an empty instance using the default constructor.
//   AnyInvocable<void()> empty;
//   empty();  // WARNING: Undefined behavior!
