| 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. From your source root run third_party/abseil-cpp/roll_abseil.py to download the code from the Abseil git repository and apply chromium specific patches. |
| |
| 2. Update BUILD.gn files to match changes in BUILD.bazel |
| |
| If there is a new test, add dependcy on it from absl_tests in the |
| third_party/abseil-cpp/BUILD.gn target |
| |
| 3. From your source root run third_party/abseil-cpp/generate_def_files.py to |
| regenerate Windows symbol definition files. |
| |
| 4. If abseil adds new features, update styleguide/c++/c++-features.md and add headers for that feature into exclude list in root DEPS |
| |
| 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 |
