Re: [chromium-dev] Warning message when running chrome in gdb
I have a vague recollection of having seen this before ... upgrading gdb may help. http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2003-01/msg00074.html --Craig On Sat, Nov 28, 2009 at 8:06 AM, Evan Martin wrote: > I have never encountered this.

While investigating http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=21921 I observed that on Windows that when the Chrome window is resized, a Skia canvas the size of the entire window is allocated and discarded in order to paint the window background. I don't think this happens during normal repainting operations but is probably one cause of allocation thrashing of these objects.

[chromium-dev] Warning message when running chrome in gdb
Hi, I am trying to run chrome under ubuntu. But I see a lot of 'internal error in the warning message'. Can you please tell me what does those means and how can I fix those? Thank you. $ gdb out/Debug/chrome warning: (Internal error: pc 0xed21a0 in read in psymtab, but not in symtab.) warning: (Internal error: pc 0xed21a1 in read in psymtab, but not in symtab.) warning: (Internal error: pc 0xed21a0 in read in psymtab, but not in symtab.) warning: (Internal error: pc 0xed21a1 in read in psymtab, but not in symtab.) warning: (Internal error: pc 0xed21a0 in read in psymtab, but not in symtab.) warning: (Internal error: pc 0xed21a1 in read in psymtab, but not in symtab.) -- Chromium Developers mailing list: chromium-dev@googlegroups.com View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev
[chromium-dev] Tracking the relationship between ports in an extension
Hi, How do I track the containment relationship of the ports associated with frames from within an extension? That probably makes no sense, so an example might help :) Chrome loads a page ("http://example.com";) and this page contains an iframe. The URLs for both the main page and the contents of the iframe cause content scripts to load which are marked to "run_at" "document_end". The content scripts connect back to the background page, which will therefore receive two calls to "onConnect". The "port" sent back doesn't give a lot of information, particularly since the "tab" property for both the main content and the iframe is identical. How do I know which port refers to the iframe, and which refers to the main content? In a way which avoid having to execute JS (potentially) across domains? This is for the chrome version of webdriver. One of the APIs allows a user to select which frame is considered "active", and in order to do this we need to understand which port is associated with which frame. In addition, if a user opens a page that contains frames, we can't currently tell which port is the main content and which is the iframe's.
