Introduction to open-source projects used by Chrome

Enter "about: credits" in the chrome address bar to view the open source project used by Chrome. There is also an article about the open source project of chrome: code reuse in Google Chrome browser. You can refer to it.

 

David M. Gay's floating point routines Homepage

FP is part of netlib. It is mainly used for floating-point calculation, binary and decimal conversion of numbers, and conversion between strings and floating-point numbers. This kind of library is very important when the program is transplanted to an embedded device. If the library is not transplanted well, it may cause a floating point operation error or the floating point operation may be very slow. The most important functions implemented in this library include strtodd, dtoa, pow5mult, diff, CMP, and lshift. This library of David M. Gay is widely used, such as Apple libc. If the problem of calling dtoa to enter the endless loop occurs when porting the browser, pay special attention to the macro definition when compiling the FP library. One reason chrome uses this library is that the number in JS is double type, so the JS engine must be able to process floating point numbers correctly and quickly. Chromde V8 also implements fastdtoa for faster conversion between strings and floating-point numbers.

 

 

Dynamic annotations Homepage

This library is mainly used to detect deadlocks. Another function of this library is to make code detection tools (such as valgrind) smarter and give fewer warnings. For example, the following code implements the multi-threaded secure Singleton mode in chrome:

 // This annotation helps race detectors recognize correct lock-less      // synchronization between different threads calling get().      // See the corresponding HAPPENS_AFTER below and above.      ANNOTATE_HAPPENS_BEFORE(&instance_);      base::subtle::Release_Store(          &instance_, reinterpret_cast<:subtle::atomicword>(newval));      if (Traits::kRegisterAtExit)        base::AtExitManager::RegisterCallback(OnExit, NULL);
 

 

Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) Homepage

NSPR is a cross-platform library developed by Mozilla. It provides APIs for data type definition, thread, thread synchronization, file, network, time processing, and memory management, an obvious feature of the nspr api is that it starts with PR, such as print32, prthread, and pr_createthread. The relationship between the program and the system is as follows:

NSPR is used by many cross-platform applications. For example, the thread security of spidermonkey depends on NSPR implementation. NSPR is also mentioned in the C ++ cross-platform development technical guide. Chrome only uses the NSPR type definition (prtypes. h) and time processing (prtime. CC). In Chrome, NSPR is mainly used because NSS and npapi depend on it.

 

 

Network Security Services (NSS) Homepage

NSS is mainly used to support network security, such as SSL protocol, S/MIME, and some encryption algorithms (such as SSL, TLS, and PKCS ). NSS is similar to OpenSSL. It is larger than OpenSSL and relies more on OpenSSL. However, NSS supports PKCS #11 and can be used for Smart Card encryption. Since NSS is used, Chrome does not need to use OpenSSL.

 

 

Purify headers Homepage

Rational purify is an IBM automated testing tool mainly used to detect memory-related errors.

 

 

Google-glog's symbolization Library homepage

Google-glog is mainly used for logging. Similar projects include log4cpp, which corresponds to log4j in Java. Google-glog is widely used in Google projects, such as Google-breakpad (a project for crash reporting, with a http://code.google.com/p/socorro/ on the server side), when chrome displays the following dialog box, it was detected by Google-breakpad.

 

 

Valgrind Homepage

Valgrind is a software development tool for memory debugging, memory leak detection, and performance analysis. Google is doing a good job in testing. Not only are there many testing tools, but most CC files have corresponding test code. Generally, it is in the same directory as the CC file and its name is xxxxx_unittest.cc.

 

 

Xdg-mime Homepage

Xdg-Mime is a tool used to determine the file type (MIME information) based on the file name and file.

 

Xdg-user-dirs Homepage

Xdg-user-dirs is a tool used on Linux to manage desktop folders, my music, my images, and other folders. Chrome uses this function when setting the chrome download folder on Linux.

 

Bsdiff Homepage

Bsdiff is a binary comparison tool with bspatch. Tools such as SVN diff can only compare files such as text, rather than binary files.

What does chrome do with bsdiff? For chrome automatic upgrade, see: Software Updates: courgette. extract one of them to see the effect.

Here are the sizes in bytes for the recent 190.1-> 190.4 update on the developer channel:

Full update 10,385,920

Bsdiff update 704,512

Courgette update 78,848

There are also some other binary algorithms, such as rsync, which is very useful when Synchronizing files. The Dropbox synchronization algorithm is also rsync. Automatic Upgrade is actually a synchronization operation.

 

 

Xz utils Homepage

Xz utils is a compression tool that relies on lzma SDK (7z also uses this. Chrome uses xz utils to compress the chrome installer.

 

 

Google-jstemplate Homepage

Google-jstemplate is a JS template processing library and is suitable for Ajax programs, a bit like struts. There is an introduction PPT at http://google-jstemplate.googlecode.com/svn/slides/jstemplate.html.

 

 

Launchpad translations Homepage

Launchpad translations are files supported by chrome in multiple languages. Chrome mainly uses grit (Google resource and internationalization tool) to compile xtb and GRB files into H files and then put them in the resource file (. Rc. For more details about language support, refer to NLP.

 

 

Mozilla personal security manager Homepage

Mozilla personal security manager is mainly used for Certificate Management in Linux. For more information, see http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/psm/arch.html. Windows is similar to the following:

 

Gssapi Homepage

Gssapi is short for generic security services application program interface. It provides application interfaces that allow applications to access security services. Its related technologies include radius, SASL, TLS, and sspi. For Security Authentication Authorization negotiation, chrome on Windows uses the sspi (Security Support Provider Interface) provided by secur32.dll, while gssapi on Linux. For more information about HTTP authentication, see: http://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/http-authentication

It is mainly used for chrome implementation on Mac. Of course, Google toolbox for Mac is not just for chrome, but also for Google's other products on iPhone and Mac.

 

WebKit Homepage

WebKit is the core of chrome.

 

ActiveX Scripting SDK Homepage

It is not clear what Chrome does with ActiveX Scripting SDK, nor does it find the relevant code in chrome. It may be related to plug-ins and is used to support object tags.

 

 

Almost native graphics layer engine Homepage

Angle. Chrome uses angle to implement webgl with DirectX 9. Why does chrome not use OpenGL? The reason is that Windows OpenGL versions are not Binary compatible. Microsoft's explanation is at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/124034/zh-cn, and the handler is incompatible with the OpenGL program binary level, but is compatible with the source code level. That is to say, an OpenGL program must be able to run on a specific version of Windows, it must be re-compiled on that platform. In addition, the degree to which OpenGL is supported by different graphics card drivers is not nearly the same. The real standard for 3D programming on Windows is DirectX, which means Chrome must use webgl to implement weebgl (as does Safari ). The war between DirectX and OpenGL is a battle between IE and Netscape. For details, refer to http://www.cppblog.com/xczhang/archive/2007/12/09/38105.html. OpenGL is the main 3D API on Linux and Mac OS, so there is no problem.

 

Apple sample code Homepage

There are many documents and examples in Apple's Developer Center, which is equivalent to Microsoft's msdn website. For programming on Mac and iPhone, refer to. HTML5 developers can also take a look at http://www.apple.com/html5/. there are many HTML5 demos for Apple. Apple's open source project is also in it (http://developer.apple.com/opensource/,http://opensource.apple.com/source ). In addition, many people complain that WebKit has no documentation. In fact, Apple has written many documents about WebKit, such as WebKit objective-C Programming Guide.

For details, refer to Google Chrome's support for Bzip2 compression and Chrome's support for SDCh compression, bzip2 compression is no longer supported. In chrome 13, chrome supports gzip, deflate, and SDCh, but does not support Bzip2 compression.
