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