Duplicate `_main` symbol when linking abseil about nearby

[bourdakos1]

Hi @mohsin, we just did a large refactor involving all the c++ namespaces, so this could be a regression. I’ll take a look and make sure it still builds on my M1 MacBook.

@bourdakos1 Yes, it is resolved. I did have to fork out and make one modification i.e. switch exclude-main to main as the exclude-main branch was missing on your fork. I also noticed that you added a Test for the same to the master branch of this repo but missed out merging cl/500537425 which is the main fix that the tests are meant for. Thanks again for a swift fix. Appreciate it!

The issue was with the abseil repo, so cl/500537425 was just a test pointing at a fork of abseil with the fix. However, the fix has been merged into the main branch of abseil so my fork was no longer necessary.

Yea, its failing for me with the same error. I'll look into what broke and why our tests are still passing.

[mohsin]

Sure, thank you! Appreciate it.

Okay, I think I've fixed the issue. You can test by changing the nearby branch from master to cl/500537425
