10Description:
11This directory contains the source code of Abseil for C++. This can be used by
12Chromium, subject to the guidance at
13https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/styleguide/c++/c++-features.md;
14it can be used without restriction by Chromium's dependencies, except that
15objects compiled into Chromium itself cannot use anything relying on
16absl::base_internal::FastTypeId (see https://crbug.com/1096380).

18How to update Abseil:
19
201. Download the code from the Abseil git repository (see URL).
21
222. Copy the content of the Abseil git repo to //third_party/abseil-cpp.
23
243. From your source root run third_party/abseil-cpp/generate_def_files.py to
25   regenerate Windows symbol definition files.

27Local Modifications:
28
29* absl/copts.bzl has been translated to //third_party/absl-cpp/BUILD.gn. Both
30  files contain lists of compiler flags in order to reduce duplication.
31
32* All the BUILD.bazel files have been translated to BUILD.gn files.
33
34* Patches from //third_party/abseil-cpp/patches have been applied.
35
36* Increment this number to silence presubmits about modifying files in
37  third_party when regenerating absl .def files: 2
