1 This repository (system_api.git) contains constants and definitions like 2 D-Bus service names that are shared between Chromium and Chromium OS. 3 4 This repository is only for things like headers and .proto files. 5 No implementation should be added. 6 7 When writting a .proto file make sure to use: 8 "option optimize_for = LITE_RUNTIME;" 9 10 This will force usage of a lite protobuf instead of a full/heavy weight 11 protobuf. The browser only links against the light version, so you will get 12 cryptic link errors about missing parts of Message if you define a protobuf here 13 and then try to use it in Chrome. Currently CrOS links against the full 14 protobuffer library, but that might change in the future. 15 16 When declaring a protobuf, avoid use of required unless it is exactly what you 17 mean. "Required is Forever" and very rarely should actually be used. Consult 18 http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/cpptutorial.html for a detailed 19 of this issue.
