Issue 4301: Split unit_tests.exe into multiple executables
7 people starred this issue and may be notified of changes. Back to list
 
Reported by project member maruel@chromium.org, Nov 11, 2008 
Reduce the link time by splitting unit_tests into smaller and static 
libraries. More logical separation of browser/common/plugin/renderer unit 
tests. Would still link into one big executable since browser still depends 
on renderer. :/

Need to sync with scons & xcode.

Proposed: postpone after 1.0 so it doesn't make merging into official 
harder?

After the gyp changes this doesn't seem valid, please re-open as needed.

Linking is getting increasingly hard on every platforms. This is mostly orthogonal to 
splitting off webkit.dll,  bug 21796

Changing the bug subject and making the relevant underlying issue a blocker.

It would be good to measure the binary size and link time changes in splitting unit_tests into 2 or more binaries.

I suspect it will be slower since most of the binary size is coming from WebKit+base+net+third_party.

Another benefit of splitting the actually exe into multiple test categories would be to finally get code coverage working on Windows. The instrumentation currently fails because of the size of our test executable...

I'll mark as WontFix since I don't plan to work on that and it's not something you can do in 100 lines of code.
