Hello to everyone,
I would like to propose a small set of patches that will provide
support for building and running Chromium on MIPS platforms.
As you may have been aware, support for MIPS arch has already been
introduced in projects that Chromium embeds, such as V8, and the only
remaining thing to add is a small set of patches to Chromium itself,
mainly to GYP files, to enable successful compilation and execution
for MIPS target.
For this purpose, I have created a page
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=130022
to track the changes, and the first patch has been submitted for a
review at:
http://codereview.chromium.org/10448043/
It is a patch that adds support for atomic operations, and this code
is the same as v8/src/atomicops_internal_mips_gcc.h. Also, the same
file (atomicops_internal_mips_gcc.h) is used for Chromium stack in
MIPS Android.
Having another architecture supported for Chromium will raise a
question on this list what additional testing is sufficient for
future. Let me know what you think.
Kind regards,
Petar Jovanovic
