Description:
This directory contains the source code of Abseil for C++. This can be used by
Chromium's dependencies, but shouldn't be used by Chromium itself.
See: https://goo.gl/TgnJb8.
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_dynamic_annotations.sh.
This script will rewrite dynamic_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} have been renamed
to avoid ODR violations (see step 3).
