13 Local Additions:
14 * gyp file for building in chromium
15 * port/port_chromium.{h,cc} and env_chromium.{h,cc} provide chromium
16 implementations of primitives used by leveldb. E.g. threading, file handling,
17 etc. env_chromium.h allows re-use of some utility functions.
18 * chromium_logger.h was copied from src/util/posix_logger.h and updated to use
19 chrome primitives in place of some posix primitives
20 * env_idb.h allows IndexedDB to emit uma stats under separate histograms from
21 other LevelDB consumers.
22 * ChromiumEnv wraps low-level I/O calls that may be interrupted with a
23 HANDLE_EINTR macro that retries the call.
24 * TRACE macros/thread name for chrome://tracing diagnostics
