When the V8 sandbox is enabled, ArrayBuffer backing stores must be
allocated inside the sandbox address space. This change introduces a new
CefV8Value::CreateArrayBufferWithCopy method that copies the memory
contents into the sandbox address space.
Enabling the V8 sandbox can have a performance impact, especially when
passing large ArrayBuffers from C++ code to the JS side. We have therefore
retained the old CefV8Value::CreateArrayBuffer method that references
external memory. However, this method can only be used if the V8 sandbox is
disabled at CEF/Chromium build time.
To disable the V8 sandbox add `v8_enable_sandbox=false` to
`GN_DEFINES` when building CEF/Chromium.
CefSharedProcessMessageBuilder supports creation of a CefProcessMessage
backed by a CefSharedMemoryRegion.
Performance tests comparing the existing ArgumentList approach and the new
SharedMemoryRegion approach have been added to cefclient at
http://tests/ipc_performance.
CefMessageRouter has been updated to use SharedMemoryRegion as transport
for larger message payloads. The threshold is configurable via
|CefMessageRouterConfig.message_size_threshold|.
To test:
run `ceftests --gtest_filter=SendSharedProcessMessageTest.*:SharedProcessMessageTest.*:MessageRouterTest.Threshold*`
