# This defines PartitionAlloc's default build configuration for chromium.
# If building PartitionAlloc as a part of chromium,

# //base/allocator/partition_allocator/partition_alloc.gni will import
# this file and will use the defined values as default build configuration.
#
# partition_alloc.gni declares the following variables:
# - use_allocator_shim
# - use_partition_alloc_as_malloc
# - enable_backup_ref_ptr_support
# - enable_mte_checked_ptr_support
# - put_ref_count_in_previous_slot
# - enable_backup_ref_ptr_slow_checks
# - enable_dangling_raw_ptr_checks
#
# Temporarily defines use_allocator_shim here. After deciding what
# allocator_shim should be (e.g. a part of PartitionAlloc, a new component:
# allocator_shim, and so on), move use_allocator_shim_default to the place.
# - use_allocator_shim
#
# {variable}_default works as the default value of {variable}.
