Good overview of about:tracing and of Chrome's rendering pipeline in general.

iOS WebKit modifications

Apple does code dumps on their open source releases site. For iOS, this contains WebCore and JavaScriptCore (because of LGPL), but not WebKit (BSD).

iOS 6.1 seems to track the open source WebKit repository up to r116247. You can diff Apple's code against the open source repo at that revision to see what is different in iOS.

Chromium Setup

Links:

• Chromium SVN Credentials
• Chromium Git Setup
• Mac build instructions
• Setting up Ninja
• Some things in the faster Linux builds page apply to the Mac too (disable NaCl, use shared libraries)

Recipe:

1. Visit Chromium Access and get credentials.
2. Run svn ls --username mihaip@chromium.org svn://svn.chromium.org/chrome/trunk/src and svn ls --username mihaip@chromium.org svn://svn.chromium.org/blink/trunk to verify said credentials.
3. cd ~/Developer/tools/
4. svn co http://src.chromium.org/chrome/trunk/tools/depot_tools
5. cd ../source
6. mkdir chromium
7. add ~/Developer/source/chromium to the list of paths that Spotlight excludes
8. cd chromium
9. fetch blink
10. cd src
11. rm -rf out/Debug
12. export GYP_GENERATORS="ninja"
13. export GYP_DEFINES="component=shared_library disable_nacl=1"
14. ./build/gyp_chromium
15. ninja -C out/Debug chrome

Updating:

1. cd ~/Developer/source/chromium/src
2. git pull --rebase origin master
3. export GYP_GENERATORS="ninja"
4. export GYP_DEFINES="component=shared_library disable_nacl=1"
5. gclient sync
6. ninja -C out/Debug chrome
