> Googletest ... declares a direct dependency on an older LTS release of absl Looking at the build configuration code: https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/main/CMakeLists.txt https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/main/CMakeLists.tx... it seems like the dependence on Abseil is optional. i.e. you can use googltest on its own. I wouldn't recommend it (I kinda like doctest), but still.
