Description:
This directory contains the source code of Abseil for C++. This can be used by
Chromium, subject to the guidance at
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/styleguide/c++/c++-features.md;
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 your source root run third_party/abseil-cpp/generate_def_files.py to
regenerate Windows symbol definition files.
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 have been translated to BUILD.gn files.
* Patches from //third_party/abseil-cpp/patches have been applied.
* Increment this number to silence presubmits about modifying files in
third_party when regenerating absl .def files: 2
