[chromium-dev] Re: Extracting Views, creating app/

2009-04-28 Thread Dean McNamee

If people need things moved to base, you can file a bug against me.

During this refactor, it would be nice to also have the opposite, a
clean dependencies on what uses views.  For Linux we would like to
build without views.  Right now there are dependencies from outside of
views/ to views/.  There is a bug filed to try to untangle it, but I
suppose it makes sense to wait until you pull views/ out completely.

 This file really wants to be in base.

 Same thing for chrome/common/stl_util-inl.h .

2009-04-28 Thread Tony Chang

I'm not sure this is related to the mac try servers being slow.  This
only causes GRIT to re-run (maybe 10s to run on all files?), but
prevents .cc files from being recompiled.

Mike is right that it causes null builds to be slower.

I'm happy to rollback, it doesn't matter either way for me, but if
we're trying to speed up the mac try slaves, this probably isn't going
to help (this change has been in for almost a month).

Tony's point is that GRIT will run, decide that none of its outputs

run based on that (?).

[chromium-dev] adding libraries to gyp

In http://codereview.chromium.org/99132 , I split one library into two.
This worked fine up until the Windows build, which only uses gyp
halfway, got the change to use the split library but didn't get the
change to fix consumers of the library.  :(

Is there any reasonable way to work through this?  It appears I need
to do chrome.sln surgery to make this work, and that involves adding a
ton to the project, etc.
Should I just wait for gyp to go through Windows before doing this?

[chromium-dev] Changes to FilePath?

2009-04-28 Thread Greg Spencer
Hi Chromium Developers,

I'm working on Google's O3D (http://code.google.com/p/o3d), and we
(naturally) share some of Chrome's base classes for our code, including the
very useful class FilePath.

However, in using FilePath in the last few months, I've seen that it needs
some refinement.  I'd like to augment the FilePath class with some things
that would make it more generally useful -- it's very nicely set up, but
it's missing a few things that make it harder to work with than it needs to
be:

1) I'd like to add some explicit routines for converting to/from UTF8 and
UTF16.  While it's nice (and important) that FilePath uses the platform's
native string, we've found that many third party libraries have made other
assumptions, where they always expect UTF8 (char) or UTF16 (wchar_t) paths
regardless of platform, and converting a FilePath to and from those forms is
a platform-dependent exercise which should be centralized into the class
(i.e. adding ToUTF8 and ToWide functions to the class, and explicit
constructors that take each type).

2) I'd like to make it possible to instantiate a POSIX FilePath object on
Windows and a Windows FilePath on POSIX platforms.  This is because some
libraries (e.g. the zip library, or tar files), use POSIX semantics for
their paths even on Windows (I haven't seen a use case for Windows paths on
POSIX yet, actually).   This would make it possible to use the nice API that
FilePath has to manipulate paths appropriately for these other libraries.
This could be easily accomplished by having POSIX and Windows versions of
FilePath, and then typedef'ing FilePath differently on different platforms
to one of these versions.

3) It would be helpful to have real path normalization for each of the
platforms (although I know what a testing nightmare that can be).  I might
try and tackle this if people think it would be beneficial.

4) Make sure we handle case sensitivity vs case preservation correctly.
It's unclear to me that FilePath does this correctly on the Mac -- Mac file
names are case preserving, but case insensitive, Unix filenames are both
(and windows filenames are neither :-).

So, is there any resistance to any of the above?  Do you have other
suggestions that I might take into account?  Am I violating any design
assumptions of FilePath?  For #2, is speed/size enough of a concern to avoid
a virtual base class (I wouldn't think so, but you never know..)?

Thanks for pointing that out. In fact, NTFS is actually case sensitive,
where FAT32 is not (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/100625).  So we have
issues there as well.  The real issue would be dealing with relative paths
that don't exist yet -- there would be no way to inspect the file location
to find out what mode it was in.  I think I would just punt and go with the
widely-used defaults (the ones I mentioned above), since most apps seem to
assume those limitations.  An alternative would be to have an API to specify
the desired mode, and default to the common case on each platform.

I'm pretty strongly against this for the same reasons as Evan.  I think
consumers who need to convert should be doing the conversion using their own
routines (e.g. Chrome uses ones in our base/ module).

 I'm pretty strongly against this for the same reasons as Evan.  I think
 consumers who need to convert should be doing the conversion using their own
 routines (e.g. Chrome uses ones in our base/ module).


So, I was unable to find the conversion utilities in base that do the
conversion to/from UTF8.  What are they called?  If I missed them (and I
looked for a while before I gave up), then maybe they need to be more
prominent?

What is the danger here of being lazy?  Is it that developers will
unwittingly do expensive conversions?  If so, I would expect that a member
function called ToUTF8 would be just as much of a performance warning as a
helper function called FilePathToUTF8, but be a heck of a lot more
convenient (since it would not require the developer to create a local
variable for use as a return value from the helper, and can be used as an
argument to another library's functions).  I can see the argument for not
having a casting constructor that isn't from the platform native form, but
in that case, a factory method called CreateFromUTF8 should be a
sufficient warning to the developer that it might be expensive.

See base/string_util.h, UTF8ToUTF16() etc.

Yes, partly because including dedicated helpers like this makes it sound as
if the class is somehow special-cased or fastpathed to deal better with
these than a generic converter would be.

The other argument is simply that converting utf8 to utf16 is a generic sort
of functionality that belongs in base/ or another similar general-purpose
location, rather than specifically in FilePath.

 I understand those issues quite well (but I probably should call the
 conversion method ToUTF16, now that you mention it).  And char* isn't
 necessarily UTF8 on all platforms either.

 OK, so what's the currently recommended path for converting to UTF16 or
 UTF8 from a FilePath?


The biggest problem with this change is that it's not possible to do this
conversion on Linux in a safe way.  In Linux, there is no charset defined by
the filesystem.  Each filename is just a blob of bytes.  Apps are supposed
to respect an environment variable, but since this environment variable
could change over time and be different from user to user, there's no
reliable way to know what the charset is, so you can't convert from a
FilePath on Linux to UTF8 or UTF16 unless you were the one who created the
path to begin with.

 But that's exactly the point.  FilePath is the class that created the path

 was created, and do the right conversion when you ask the FilePath to
 convert to UTF16.  Also, if the developer calls something called
 FilePath::CreateFromUTF8, then it can know it was supposed to be UTF8 and
 remember that.



If you created it yourself, that's fine.  FilePaths aren't always created
manually by users.  They often are populated from system APIs where you
can't know.  See file_util* for some examples.  So the problem is that if
you add this API, people will mistakenly use the conversion functions when
they can't be safe.  I agree it sucks.  I just don't know of a reasonable

implement anything other than assuming that it's ASCII are slim -- this
would allow us to at least implement a baseline for them.  Or would that

Doesn't this mean that it's possible that the path manipulation routines

[chromium-dev] Need to run parts of WebCore in either the browser process or some browser helper process

2009-04-28 Thread Jeremy Orlow
Yes, yes, I know this is a horrible idea, but please hear me out  :-)

Last week, a couple of us (Darin F, Michael N, Jeremy M, and I) had lunch at
Apple to talk to talk about sharing more code. HTML 5 brings with it a lot
of APIs that reach outside of the top level browsing context boundary (i.e.
the render process boundary in Chromium). We talked specifically about
localStorage and appCache. Although I believe the following generalizes well
for any such API, I recognize that there are some unique constraints for
stuff like databases...so I'm not even going to talk about them right now.
Anyhow...

For a while now, I've looked at a bunch of ways to make localStorage
multi-process aware, but really none of them have any hope except one:
splitting localStorage into a frontend and backend. The frontend would be
the portion in each renderer process that connects into the JS bindings. A
single backend would store all the data and be shared by the frontends.

Originally, my plan was to do this split and then write my own back end in
the browser process, but there are several problems with this. From a
technical standpoint, it's unclear how testing would work since our
test_shell would be testing a different backend from what's in Chromium. It
also means we have more code to maintain, and that code is completely off of
WebKit's radar. It also makes Apple mad and Dimitri sad. So really, this
doesn't seem like a good solution.

Assuming the only viable solution is having several frontends talking to one
backend (I'm confident this is true) and assuming having our own backend is
not viable (this also seems true), then the only choice is for us to use the
WebCore backend. We can't run this in any renderer process since the
response times for browser-renderer communication are unbounded. So that
leaves either the browser process or some browser helper process.

Creating a helper process for the browser seems like a pretty interesting
idea to me since there's already a lot of somewhat dangerous stuff running
in the browser process. (The only thing I can remember right now is v8 for
parsing .pac files, but I know there's more.) Basically, the helper process
would be a sandboxed process where anything dangerous but not bound to a
single renderer process would run. Ideally it would store little to no state
so that the browser could easily restart it and resend any pending messages
if it crashed. For localStorage, the backend (which is part of WebCore)
would run there and all localStorage messages would be proxied through the
browser process. The VFS could be used to retrieve file handles.

The other option is to simply run part of WebCore's localStorage within the
browser process. LocalStorage only depends on WTF, so this really isn't
_that_ terrible of an idea. Thoughts?

Anyhow, the WebKit guys we talked to like the idea of a split
frontend/backend, especially if it means we'll continue sharing code. I
believe Michael is going to be doing something similar for AppCache.

 After we let the webkit conversion soak a bit, we'll schedule the

 WHILE WE'RE STILL IN TRANSITION:  please continue to add new webkit/ and

 have just recently caught up both of these components with the last few

 If the planned timing is bad for you, let me or Brad know.

Historically, the answer to running WebCore in the browser has been a
resounding no.  Can you please explain what you think has changed since such
decisions were made (or why it's time to revisit such decisions)?

My _feeling_ is that it would be OK with a security review, and my feeling

that's just my opinion.  I don't have anything terribly solid to back it up.

 Can you please explain what you think has changed since such decisions were

I don't think there was code in webcore suitable for this purpose
before... html parsing, javascript,sql interpretting... all dangerous
from a security point of view (acting in very complex ways on
untrusted web content).  The backend logic for these new features
aren't like that. Its not so much that its webcore code is untrusted,
as much as the data it operates on is untrusted.

 I have always felt like running the WebCore backend in the browser was 
 elegant

Yea, but we need a webcore backend to run :)

 Though this shouldn't drive your decision, about 50% of our code
 weight (at least by one metric) is WebKit.  You could imagine that the
 browser process doesn't need a copy of that, and that the renderer
 process doesn't need a copy of all the browser process stuff (network
 stack, UI goop).  On Linux, startup time is heavily affected by the
 cost of the dynamic linker pulling in GTK, which we only would need
 from the browser process if we had separate binaries.  However,
 OS-level page sharing may mean having separate binaries doesn't
 actually help too much here.


This is definitely something to keep in mind, but shouldn't we be able to
just compile in the bits of webkit we care about?  Yeah, we'll have 2 copies
of WTF, but the rest should be pretty separate.

 Looking into a fix, this may be a missing dependency from v8_snapshot on

  changes around this range does not help.
 
  The tree should not be reopened until this is resolved.
