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