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:
// 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) ...
