How to supress Abseil logging before absl::InitializeLog is called ?

[janpfeifer]

I have a Go program that dynamically loads (dlopen) a C++ program (an OpenXLA's PJRT plugin).

This C++ plugin polutes the stderr with irrelevant log messages (from my program users point of view).

The logging is prefixed with the warning:

"""
WARNING: All log messages before absl::InitializeLog() is called are written to STDERR
... (irrelevant logging to stderr) ...
"""

How can one disable this behavior ? Is there an environment variable that can be set such that absl::logging will supress logging until absl::InitializeLog() is called ?

Many thanks!
