- Generated files are now created when running cef_create_projects or
the new version_manager.py tool. These files are still created in the
cef/ source tree (same location as before) but Git ignores them due to
the generated .gitignore file.
- API hashes are committed to Git as a new cef_api_versions.json file.
This file is used for both code generation and CEF version calculation
(replacing the previous usage of cef_api_hash.h for this purpose).
It will be updated by the CEF admin before merging breaking API
changes upstream.
- As an added benefit to the above, contributor PRs will no longer
contain generated code that is susceptible to frequent merge conflicts.
- From a code generation perspective, the main difference is that we now
use versioned structs (e.g. cef_browser_0_t instead of cef_browser_t)
on the libcef (dll/framework) side. Most of the make_*.py tool changes
are related to supporting this.
- From the client perspective, you can now define CEF_API_VERSION in the
project configuration (or get CEF_EXPERIMENTAL by default). This
define will change the API exposed in CEF’s include/ and include/capi
header files. All client-side targets including libcef_dll_wrapper
will need be recompiled when changing this define.
- Examples of the new API-related define usage are provided in
cef_api_version_test.h, api_version_test_impl.cc and
api_version_unittest.cc.
To test:
- Run `ceftests --gtest_filter=ApiVersionTest.*`
- Add `cef_api_version=13300` to GN_DEFINES. Re-run configure, build and
ceftests steps.
- Repeat with 13301, 13302, 13303 (all supported test versions).
Starting with Python 3.12, use of invalid escape sequences in strings
is reported as a SyntaxWarning and will become a SyntaxError at a
later point.
Regular expressions use the backslash character a lot, which result in
warnings of this kind. Python docs recommend to generally use raw
strings for this purpose.
Change the default stack size to 8 MiB for 64-bit and 0.5 MiB for 32-bit.
CEF's main thread needs at least a 1.5 MiB stack size in order to avoid
stack overflow crashes. However, if this is set in the PE file then other
threads get this size as well, leading to address-space exhaustion in 32-bit
CEF. A new CefRunWinMainWithPreferredStackSize function uses fibers to switch
the main thread to a 4 MiB stack (roughly the same effective size as the
64-bit build's 8 MiB stack) before running any other code.
This change additionally moves the existing Windows-only functions
CefSetOSModalLoop and CefEnableHighDPISupport from cef_app.h to cef_win.h.
- CefURLRequest::Create is no longer supported in the renderer process
(see https://crbug.com/891872). Use CefFrame::CreateURLRequest instead.
- Mac platform definitions have been changed from `MACOSX` to `MAC`
(see https://crbug.com/1105907) and related CMake macro names have
been updated. The old `OS_MACOSX` define is still set in code and CMake
for backwards compatibility.
- Linux ARM build is currently broken (see https://crbug.com/1123214).
The cef_api_hash.h file was previously only updated when the translator tool
was run manually. Forgetting to run the translator tool after changing
include/internal/cef_types*.h files would result in cef_parser.py
incorrectly computing the CEF minor version number for future builds. By
updating this file automatically at build time the number of errors should be
reduced.
This splits out the API hashes from the cef_version.h file which is generated at
build time. Changes to the cef_api_hash.h file are committed to the repo and
represent potentially breaking API changes. This commit history will be used to
calculate the version number.
- Move include/cef_build.h to include/base/cef_build.h.
- Move libcef_dll/cef_macros.h to include/base/cef_macros.h.
- Move include/cef_trace_event.h to include/base/cef_trace_event.h and include/internal/cef_trace_event_internal.h.
- Remove the "CEF_" prefix from TRACE macros.
- Add new include/base/cef_logging.h and include/internal/cef_logging_internal.h for logging support.
- Add new include/wrapper/cef_helpers.h for CEF_REQUIRE_*_THREAD macros and CefScopedArgArray.
- Delete the util.h headers used by tests that duplicated the above functionality.
