| 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 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. |
