A reference to a received CefProcessMessage object and/or associated argument
list can now be kept outside of the OnProcessMessageReceived callback. The
argument list is no longer explicitly owned by the CefProcessMessage object
and can be individually assigned to other CefValue types as needed (e.g. by
passing to SetList, etc). Depending on client usage this could reduce the
potential for unnecessary copies of the list contents.
Received messages can also be sent back using SendProcessMessage (after which
the CefProcessMessage would become invalid as discussed in issue #3123). This
is not new behavior but we have now added explicit unit test coverage for it.
This also no longer requires a copy of the argument list contents.
Note that a received argument list is initially read-only for logical
consistency. Assignment to another CefValue object could potentially remove
the read-only status because it is not an intrinsic property of the underlying
Chromium data type. This is fine because, at that point, ownership has been
transfered to the new CefValue object and the original logical context (as
part of the CefProcessMessage) no longer applies.
This change introduces a few minor CEF API behavior changes:
- A CefProcessMessage object cannot be reused after being passed to
SendProcessMessage.
- The |extra_info| argument to CefRenderProcessHandler::OnBrowserCreated may
now be NULL.
Where appropriate, we now utilize the default UTF string encoding format and
shared memory to reduce copies and conversions for the cross-process
transfer of arbitrary-length strings. For example, CefFrame::GetSource/GetText
now involves zero UTF conversions and zero copies in the browser process for
the CefString delivered to CefStringVisitor::Visit().
With site-per-process enabled a spare renderer process will be created
for use with a future browser or navigation. Consequently the
|extra_info| parameter populated in OnRenderProcessThreadCreated will no
longer be delivered to OnRenderThreadCreated in the expected renderer
process. To avoid confusion these callbacks have been removed completely.
After this change CefRenderProcessHandler::OnWebKitInitialized should
be used for startup tasks in the render process, and OnBrowserCreated
should be used in the render process to recieve |extra_info| passed from
CefBrowserHost::CreateBrowser or CefLifeSpanHandler::OnBeforePopup.
This change moves the SendProcessMessage method from CefBrowser to CefFrame and
adds CefBrowser parameters to OnProcessMessageReceived and
OnDraggableRegionsChanged.
The internal implementation has changed as follows:
- Frame IDs are now a 64-bit combination of the 32-bit render_process_id and
render_routing_id values that uniquely identify a RenderFrameHost (RFH).
- CefFrameHostImpl objects are now managed by CefBrowserInfo with life span tied
to RFH expectations. Specifically, a CefFrameHostImpl object representing a
sub-frame will be created when a RenderFrame is created in the renderer
process and detached when the associated RenderFrame is deleted or the
renderer process in which it runs has died.
- The CefFrameHostImpl object representing the main frame will always be valid
but the underlying RFH (and associated frame ID) may change over time as a
result of cross-origin navigations. Despite these changes calling LoadURL on
the main frame object in the browser process will always navigate as expected.
- Speculative RFHs, which may be created as a result of a cross-origin
navigation and discarded if that navigation is not committed, are now handled
correctly (e.g. ignored in most cases until they're committed).
- It is less likely, but still possible, to receive a CefFrame object with an
invalid frame ID (ID < 0). This can happen in cases where a RFH has not yet
been created for a sub-frame. For example, when OnBeforeBrowse is called
before initiating navigation in a previously nonexisting sub-frame.
To test: All tests pass with NetworkService enabled and disabled.
The optional |extra_info| parameter provides an opportunity to specify extra
information specific to the created browser that will be passed to
CefRenderProcessHandler::OnBrowserCreated() in the render process.
- Replace 'bool' with 'int' in cef_types[_*].h.
- Typedef enums in cef_types.h
- Add includes and struct forward declarations in C API header files.
