| Description: |
| This directory contains the source code of Abseil for C++. This can be used by |
| Chromium, subject to the guidance at https://chromium-cpp.appspot.com/; it can |
| be used without restriction by Chromium's dependencies, except that objects |
| compiled into Chromium itself cannot use anything relying on |
| absl::base_internal::FastTypeId (see https://crbug.com/1096380). |
| |
| How to update Abseil: |
| |
| 1. Download the code from the Abseil git repository (see URL). |
| |
| 2. Copy the content of the Abseil git repo to //third_party/abseil-cpp. |
| |
| 3. From //third_party/abseil-cpp/ launch ./rename_annotations.sh. |
| This script will rewrite dynamic_annotations and thread_annotations |
| macros and function inside Abseil in order to avoid ODR violations |
| and macro clashing with Chromium |
| (see: https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/issues/122). |
| |
| Local Modifications: |
| |
| * absl/copts.bzl has been translated to //third_party/absl-cpp/BUILD.gn. Both |
| files contain lists of compiler flags in order to reduce duplication. |
| |
| * All the BUILD.bazel files has been translated to BUILD.gn files. |
| |
| * Functions and macros in absl/base/dynamic_annotations.{h,cc} and |
| absl/base/thread_annotations.h have been renamed to avoid ODR |
| violations and macro clashes with Chromium (see step 3). |
| |
| * Patches from //third_party/abseil-cpp/patches have been applied. |
