Demo

中文 README

---

This project is in the process of migrating to chromium version 120(branch 6099), please choose the appropriate branch for your needs and make sure chromium switches to the corresponding branch as well (you will need to run glcient sync to sync the code after the switch). If you are interested in this, please feel free to contact me in the Discussions channel. I have built a WeChat group, used to facilitate technical discussions, if you are interested, welcome to add my WeChat, I will pull you into the discussion group. WeChat:

This project is used to demonstrate how to use some basic mechanisms in chromium, including asynchronous multitasking, mojo, multi-process, viz, cc, gl etc.

Tips:

1. If you are new to chromium, it is recommended to study these demos in order.
2. These demos are ONLY tested on Linux and Android. The list of supported demos for each platform can be found in the BUILD.gn file.
3. The label in front of the demo list below indicates the highest supported chromium version of the demo, e.g. M120 means chromium 120 is supported, demos without labels mean that they are only verified on chromium 80.
4. Feel free to submit new demos for PR or migrate these demos to other chromium versions.
5. Due to limited resources, the project updates its kernel once a year, approximately every 10 versions.

Documents:

Public documents are in the docs directory, and other documents are in the corresponding directory of the code.

Usage

1. Go to the src directory of chromium and switch to a supported branch, such as 120.0.6099.40 for version 120 or 91.0.4472.144 for version 91 (the last version number does not matter). And run gclient sync to synchronize the code.

2. Run the following command to clone this repository to the src/demo directory and switch to the corresponding branch, e.g. c/120.0.6099 for version 120 or c/91.0.4472 for version 91.

   git clone <address of current repository> demo
   git checkout <the branch>

3. Find the out/Default/args.gn file in your compilation output directory and add the following parameters:

   # add extra deps to gn root
   root_extra_deps = ["//demo"]
   # disable warnings as errors
   treat_warnings_as_errors = false
   
   # If you want to compile the demo of android platform, you need to add the following parameters
   # target_os="android"
   # target_cpu="arm64" # Other architectures can be selected as needed x86, x64, arm, mipsel

4. Run ninja -C out/Default <name in demo list> to generate the required demo (see BUILD.gn), for example using the name demo_exe to generate the demo_exe program. Or use demo to generate all programs.

REPEAT: These demos are ONLY tested on Linux and Android.

2023.12.24

Migrate some demos to M120, the upgrade is described below:

1. ThreadTaskRunnerHandle was replaced by SingleThreadTaskRunner;
2. The TRACE_* macro enables the perfetto client library by default;
3. mojo enables ipcz by default, and parameters must be passed for multi-process initialization;
4. The gl initialization interface supports selecting GPU;
5. The SharedQuadState::SetAll interface supports setting fast_rounded_corner;
6. viz::TransferableResource supports a clearer distinction between single-plane and multi-plane resources;
7. In order to reduce the number of viz PostTasks, CompositorFrameSinkClient::OnBeginFrame merges the functions of ReclaimResources and DidReceiveCompositorFrameAck;
8. Deleted the SkEncodeImage interface and replaced it with SkXXXEncoder::Encode;
9. Skia moved the DDL-related interfaces to chromium private and renamed them. The public DDL interface will no longer be provided in the future. After the change, only ganesh supports DrawDDL, and graphite does not.
