'C++' Header Files and Compiled Library from 'Abseil'

Wraps the 'Abseil' 'C++' library for use by R packages. Provides both header files and a compiled static library ('libabsl.a') so that downstream packages can link non-header-only 'Abseil' components without recompiling the library themselves. Original files are from < https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp>. Patches are located at < https://github.com/doccstat/abseil-r/tree/main/local/patches>.

abseil: Abseil Headers for R

Synopsis

This package provides R with access to Abseil header files.

This package is a direct import of Abseil libraries.

It can be used via the LinkingTo: field in the DESCRIPTION field of an R package — and the R package infrastructure tools will then know how to set include flags correctly on all architectures supported by R.
