chromium gn parameter list
前言
查资料时，看到如何看gn都提供什么参数列表了.
这样，编译chromium工程时，可以编译的更精细。
实验
可以将参数写到 Z:\chromium\src\out\my_x86_d\args.gn 中
编译时，执行 gn --ide=vs args out\my_x86_d
e.g.
# @file Z:\chromium\src\out\my_x86_d\args.gn
# @brief build chromium x86 release version
# @ref https://www.chromium.org/developers/gn-build-configuration
# https://blog.csdn.net/Vincent95/article/details/78477822
# @note
# cd /d Z:\chromium\src\
# gn --ide=vs args out\my_x86_d
# autoninja -C out\my_x86_d chrome
#
#
# args.gn begin
#
target_os="win"
target_cpu = "x86"
is_component_build = true
dcheck_always_on = true
enable_nacl = false
use_goma = false
symbol_level = 2
is_debug = true
is_win_fastlink = false
remove_webcore_debug_symbols = false
# proprietary_codecs 和 media_use_ffmpeg 不兼容, 只能定义一个
# proprietary_codecs = true

# rtc_initialize_ffmpeg = true
# rtc_use_h264 = true
# use_openh264 = true
# ffmpeg_branding = "Chrome"
#
# args.gn end
#
得到gn支持的全部参数列表

when finalized.
blink_symbol_level
Current value (from the default) = -1
From //third_party/blink/renderer/config.gni:32
How many symbols to include in the build of blink. This affects
the performance of the build since the symbols are large and dealing with
them is slow.
2 means regular build with symbols.
1 means minimal symbols, usually enough for backtraces only. Symbols with
internal linkage (static functions or those in anonymous namespaces) may not
appear when using this level.

Build Chrome OS display configuration code.
build_libsrtp_tests
Current value (from the default) = false
From //third_party/libsrtp/BUILD.gn:10

From //third_party/sfntly/BUILD.gn:9
Flip to true to build sfntly sample programs.
build_with_mozilla

TODO(sebmarchand): Add support for the PGU (update) phase.
clang_base_path
Current value (from the default) = "//third_party/llvm-build/Release+Asserts"
From //build/config/clang/clang.gni:14
clang_sample_profile_path
Current value (from the default) = ""

Path to an AFDO profile to use while building with clang, if any. Empty
implies none.
clang_use_chrome_plugins
Current value (from the default) = true
From //build/config/clang/clang.gni:12
Indicates if the build should use the Chrome-specific plugins for enforcing
coding guidelines, etc. Only used when compiling with Clang.
clang_use_default_sample_profile
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/compiler/BUILD.gn:120
Some configurations have default sample profiles. If this is true and
clang_sample_profile_path is empty, we'll fall back to the default.
We currently only have default profiles for Chromium in-tree, so we disable
this by default for all downstream projects, since these profiles are likely
nonsensical for said projects.
clang_version
Current value (from the default) = "7.0.0"
From //build/toolchain/toolchain.gni:51
Clang compiler version. Clang files are placed at version-dependent paths.
closure_compile
Current value (from the default) = false

Set to true to disable COM init check hooks.
compiler_timing
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/compiler/BUILD.gn:124
Turn this on to have the compiler output extra timing information.
compute_grit_inputs_for_analyze
Current value (from the default) = false
From //tools/grit/grit_rule.gni:106
When set, this will fork out to grit at GN-time to get all inputs
referenced by the .grd file.
Normal builds don't need this since proper incremental builds are handled
by grit writing out the inputs in .d files at build-time. But for analyze
to work on the bots, it needs to know about all input files at GN-time so
it knows which tests to trigger when something changes. This option will
slow down the GN run.
concurrent_links
Current value (from the default) = -1
From //build/toolchain/concurrent_links.gni:19
Limit the number of concurrent links; we often want to run fewer
links at once than we do compiles, because linking is memory-intensive.
The default to use varies by platform and by the amount of memory
available, so we call out to a script to get the right value.
content_shell_product_name
Current value (from the default) = "Content Shell"
From //content/shell/BUILD.gn:28
content_shell_version
Current value (from the default) = "99.77.34.5"

From //out/my_x86_d/args.gn:17
Overridden from the default = false
From //build/config/dcheck_always_on.gni:14
Set to true to enable dcheck in Release builds.
dcheck_is_configurable
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/dcheck_always_on.gni:9
Enables DCHECKs to be built-in, but to default to being non-fatal/log-only.
DCHECKS can then be set as fatal/non-fatal via the DCheckIsFatal feature.
See crbug.com/596231 for details on how this is used.
debug_devtools
Current value (from the default) = false
From //third_party/blink/public/public_features.gni:12

disable_libfuzzer
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/sanitizers/sanitizers.gni:91
Helper variable for testing builds with disabled libfuzzer.
Not for client use.
enable_ac3_eac3_audio_demuxing
Current value (from the default) = false
From //media/media_options.gni:56
Enables AC3/EAC3 audio demuxing. This is enabled only on Chromecast, since
it only provides demuxing, and is only useful for AC3/EAC3 audio
pass-through to HDMI sink on Chromecast.
enable_app_list
Current value (from the default) = false
From //chrome/common/features.gni:23
enable_app_shell_installer
Current value (from the default) = false

From //base/allocator/BUILD.gn:13
Provide a way to force disable debugallocation in Debug builds,
e.g. for profiling (it's more rare to profile Debug builds,
but people sometimes need to do that).
enable_desktop_in_product_help
Current value (from the default) = true
From //components/feature_engagement/features.gni:9
In-Product Help is only available in Windows and Linux OS for
desktop. Other platforms such as Mac OS currently does not support
Views and there have been no strong feelings about CrOS.
enable_dolby_vision_demuxing
Current value (from the default) = false
From //media/media_options.gni:74
Enable Dolby Vision demuxing. Enable by default for Chromecast. Actual

in order to define which decoders to build in.
enable_full_stack_frames_for_profiling
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/compiler/BUILD.gn:64
Compile in such a way as to make it possible for the profiler to unwind full

information to analyze.
Requires profiling to be set to true.
enable_google_now
Current value (from the default) = false
From //chrome/common/features.gni:37
Google Now is disabled to prepare for its removal.
http://crbug.com/539674

enable_iterator_debugging
Current value (from the default) = true
From //build/config/BUILD.gn:36
When set (the default) enables C++ iterator debugging in debug builds.
Iterator debugging is always off in release builds (technically, this flag
affects the "debug" config, which is always available but applied by
default only in debug builds).
Iterator debugging is generally useful for catching bugs. But it can
introduce extra locking to check the state of an iterator against the state
of the current object. For iterator- and thread-heavy code, this can
significantly slow execution.

Current value (from the default) = false
From //chrome/installer/BUILD.gn:11
enable_location_source
Current value (from the default) = true
From //base/BUILD.gn:44

non-Chrome OS desktop platforms. Set to |false| to disable message ID
scrambling on all platforms.
enable_mojom_typemapping
Current value (from the default) = true
From //mojo/public/tools/bindings/mojom.gni:27
Indicates whether typemapping should be supported in this build
configuration. This may be disabled when building external projects which
depend on //mojo but which do not need/want all of the Chromium tree
dependencies that come with typemapping.
Note that (perhaps obviously) a huge amount of Chromium code will not build
with typemapping disabled, so it is never valid to set this to |false| in
any Chromium build configuration.
enable_mpeg_h_audio_demuxing
Current value (from the default) = false
From //media/media_options.gni:58
enable_mse_mpeg2ts_stream_parser

Set to true to if mus (aka the window service) is enabled.
enable_mutex_priority_inheritance
Current value (from the default) = false
From //base/BUILD.gn:57
Set to true to enable mutex priority inheritance. See the comments in
LockImpl::PriorityInheritanceAvailable() in lock_impl_posix.cc for the
platform requirements to safely enable priority inheritance.

third_party/libovr/README.chromium for details.
enable_offline_pages
Current value (from the default) = false
From //components/offline_pages/buildflags/features.gni:8
Whether to enable OfflinePages support. Currently user-visible features
are Android-only.
enable_offline_pages_harness
Current value (from the default) = false
From //components/offline_pages/buildflags/features.gni:12

doing official builds.
enable_print_preview
Current value (from the default) = true
From //printing/buildflags/buildflags.gni:16
Enable printing with print preview. It implies enable_basic_printing.
Note: It would be convenient to not repeat many of the same conditions in

enable_basic_printing within the same declare_args() block.
enable_profiling
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/compiler/compiler.gni:30
Compile in such a way as to enable profiling of the generated code. For

enable_reporting
Current value (from the default) = true
From //net/features.gni:33
Reporting not used on iOS.
enable_resource_whitelist_generation
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/android/config.gni:373
Enables used resource whitelist generation. Set for official builds only
as a large amount of build output is generated.
enable_runtime_media_renderer_selection
Current value (from the default) = false
From //media/media_options.gni:144
When enabled, this feature allows developers to use a runtime flag to
choose the implementation of the renderer that is used. On a build which
enables the mojo renderer, if --disable-mojo-renderer is passed at start-up,
the "default" renderer will be used instead. Both renderer implementations
will be linked if this feature is enabled, increasing the binary size. This
feature does not make sense if the mojo renderer is not enabled.
enable_service_discovery
Current value (from the default) = true
From //chrome/common/features.gni:50
enable_session_service
Current value (from the default) = true
From //chrome/common/features.gni:54

Enables Wi-Fi Display functionality
WARNING: This enables MPEG Transport Stream (MPEG-TS) encoding!
fatal_linker_warnings
Current value (from the default) = true
From //build/config/compiler/BUILD.gn:80
Enable fatal linker warnings. Building Chromium with certain versions
of binutils can cause linker warning.
See: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=457359
ffmpeg_branding
Current value (from the default) = "Chromium"
From //third_party/ffmpeg/ffmpeg_options.gni:34
Controls whether we build the Chromium or Google Chrome version of FFmpeg.
The Google Chrome version contains additional codecs. Typical values are
Chromium, Chrome, and ChromeOS.
ffmpeg_use_atomics_fallback

From //third_party/ffmpeg/ffmpeg_options.gni:51
Set to true to force the use of ffmpeg's stdatomic fallback code.
Windows and GCC prior to 4.9 lack stdatomic.h.
This is also useful for developers who use icecc, which relies upon
clang's -frewrite-includes flag which is broken with #include_next
directives as used in chromium's clang stdatomic.h.
Some background: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26828
fieldtrial_testing_like_official_build
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/features.gni:46
Set to true make a build that disables activation of field trial tests
specified in testing/variations/fieldtrial_testing_config_*.json.
Note: this setting is ignored if is_chrome_branded.
full_wpo_on_official
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/compiler/compiler.gni:156
generate_linker_map
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/toolchain/toolchain.gni:28

See https://crbug.com/716209.
generate_order_files
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/chrome_build.gni:17
Turn this on to generate order files. See
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/win_order_files.md
gold_path
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/compiler/BUILD.gn:68
When we are going to use gold we need to find it.
This is initialized below, after use_gold might have been overridden.
goma_dir
Current value (from the default) = "C:\src\goma\goma-win64"
From //build/toolchain/goma.gni:14
Absolute directory containing the gomacc.exe binary.
google_api_key
Current value (from the default) = ""
From //google_apis/BUILD.gn:46
Set these to bake the specified API keys and OAuth client
IDs/secrets into your build.
If you create a build without values baked in, you can instead
set environment variables to provide the keys at runtime (see
src/google_apis/google_api_keys.h for details). Features that
require server-side APIs may fail to work if no keys are
provided.
Note that if you are building an official build or if
use_official_google_api_keys has been set to trie (explicitly or
implicitly), these values will be ignored and the official
keys will be used instead.
google_default_client_id
Current value (from the default) = ""
From //google_apis/BUILD.gn:49
See google_api_key.
google_default_client_secret
Current value (from the default) = ""
From //google_apis/BUILD.gn:52
See google_api_key.
has_native_accessibility
Current value (from the default) = true
From //ui/base/ui_features.gni:15
Whether the platform provides a native accessibility toolkit.

host_byteorder
Current value (from the default) = "undefined"
From //build/config/host_byteorder.gni:9
host_cpu
Current value (from the default) = "x64"
(Internally set; try `gn help host_cpu`.)
host_os
Current value (from the default) = "win"
(Internally set; try `gn help host_os`.)
host_pkg_config
Current value (from the default) = ""
From //build/config/linux/pkg_config.gni:36
A optional pkg-config wrapper to use for tools built on the host.
host_toolchain
Current value (from the default) = ""
From //build/config/BUILDCONFIG.gn:148
This should not normally be set as a build argument. It's here so that
every toolchain can pass through the "global" value via toolchain_args().
icu_use_data_file
Current value (from the default) = true
From //third_party/icu/config.gni:15
Tells icu to load an external data file rather than rely on the icudata
being linked directly into the binary.
This flag is a bit confusing. As of this writing, icu.gyp set the value to
0 but common.gypi sets the value to 1 for most platforms (and the 1 takes
precedence).
TODO(GYP) We'll probably need to enhance this logic to set the value to
true or false in similar circumstances.
ignore_elf32_limitations
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build_overrides/build.gni:41
Android 32-bit non-component, non-clang builds cannot have symbol_level=2
due to 4GiB file size limit, see https://crbug.com/648948.
Set this flag to true to skip the assertion.
include_transport_security_state_preload_list
Current value (from the default) = true
From //net/features.gni:41
Includes the transport security state preload list. This list includes
mechanisms (e.g. HSTS, HPKP) to enforce trusted connections to a significant
set of hardcoded domains. While this list has a several hundred KB of binary
size footprint, this flag should not be disabled unless the embedder is
willing to take the responsibility to make sure that all important
connections use HTTPS.
include_vr_data
Current value (from the default) = false
From //device/vr/buildflags/buildflags.gni:32
Whether to include VR extras like test APKs in non-VR-specific targets

From //build/config/sanitizers/sanitizers.gni:11
Compile for Address Sanitizer to find memory bugs.
is_cast_audio_only
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/chromecast_build.gni:14
Set this true for an audio-only Chromecast build.
is_cast_desktop_build
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/chromecast_build.gni:26
True if Chromecast build is targeted for linux desktop. This type of build
is useful for testing and development, but currently supports only a subset
of Cast functionality. Though this defaults to true for x86 Linux devices,
this should be overriden manually for an embedded x86 build.
TODO(slan): Remove instances of this when x86 is a fully supported platform.
is_cast_using_cma_backend
Current value (from the default) = true
From //media/media_options.gni:80
If true, use cast CMA backend instead of default chromium media pipeline.
is_cfi
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/sanitizers/sanitizers.gni:53
Compile with Control Flow Integrity to protect virtual calls and casts.
See http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ControlFlowIntegrity.html
TODO(pcc): Remove this flag if/when CFI is enabled in all official builds.
is_chrome_branded
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/chrome_build.gni:9
Select the desired branding flavor. False means normal Chromium branding,
true means official Google Chrome branding (requires extra Google-internal
resources).
is_chromecast
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/chromecast_build.gni:11
Set this true for a Chromecast build. Chromecast builds are supported on
Linux and Android.
is_clang
Current value (from the default) = true
From //build/config/BUILDCONFIG.gn:137
Set to true when compiling with the Clang compiler.
is_component_build
Current value = true
From //out/my_x86_d/args.gn:15
Overridden from the default = true
From //build/config/BUILDCONFIG.gn:165
Component build. Setting to true compiles targets declared as "components"
as shared libraries loaded dynamically. This speeds up development time.
When false, components will be linked statically.
For more information see
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/component_build.md
is_component_ffmpeg
Current value (from the default) = true
From //third_party/ffmpeg/ffmpeg_options.gni:41
Set true to build ffmpeg as a shared library. NOTE: this means we should
always consult is_component_ffmpeg instead of is_component_build for
ffmpeg targets. This helps linux chromium packagers that swap out our
ffmpeg.so with their own. See discussion here
https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!msg/chromium-packagers/R5rcZXWxBEQ/B6k0zzmJbvcJ
is_debug
Current value = true
From //out/my_x86_d/args.gn:22
Overridden from the default = true
From //build/config/BUILDCONFIG.gn:155
Debug build. Enabling official builds automatically sets is_debug to false.
is_desktop_linux

Break chrome.dll into multple pieces based on process type. Only available
on Windows.
is_nacl_glibc
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/nacl/config.gni:9
Native Client supports both Newlib and Glibc C libraries where Newlib
is assumed to be the default one; use this to determine whether Glibc
is being used instead.
is_official_build
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/BUILDCONFIG.gn:131
Set to enable the official build level of optimization. This has nothing
to do with branding, but enables an additional level of optimization above
release (!is_debug). This might be better expressed as a tri-state
(debug, release, official) but for historical reasons there are two
separate flags.
is_proto_quic
Current value (from the default) = false
From //net/features.gni:9
If true, prune things down as needed for proto-quic build.
is_tsan
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/sanitizers/sanitizers.gni:20
Compile for Thread Sanitizer to find threading bugs.

From //build/config/sanitizers/sanitizers.gni:27
Halt the program if a problem is detected.
is_ubsan_null
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/sanitizers/sanitizers.gni:30
Compile for Undefined Behaviour Sanitizer's null pointer checks.
is_ubsan_security
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/sanitizers/sanitizers.gni:83
Enables core ubsan security features. Will later be removed once it matches
is_ubsan.
is_ubsan_vptr
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/sanitizers/sanitizers.gni:33
Compile for Undefined Behaviour Sanitizer's vptr checks.
is_unsafe_developer_build
Current value (from the default) = true
From //base/BUILD.gn:49
Unsafe developer build. Has developer-friendly features that may weaken or
disable security measures like sandboxing or ASLR.
IMPORTANT: Unsafe developer builds should never be distributed to end users.
is_win_fastlink
Current value = false
From //out/my_x86_d/args.gn:23
Overridden from the default = false
From //build/config/compiler/compiler.gni:51
Tell VS to create a PDB that references information in .obj files rather
than copying it all. This should improve linker performance. mspdbcmf.exe
can be used to convert a fastlink pdb to a normal one.
jumbo_build_excluded
Current value (from the default) = []
From //build/config/jumbo.gni:15
A list of targets to exclude from jumbo builds, for optimal round trip time
when frequently changing a set of cpp files.
jumbo_file_merge_limit
Current value (from the default) = -1
From //build/config/jumbo.gni:31
How many files to group at most. Smaller numbers give more
parallellism, higher numbers give less total CPU usage. Higher
numbers also give longer single-file recompilation times.
Recommendations:
Higher numbers than 100 does not reduce wall clock compile times
even for 4 cores or less so no reason to go higher than 100.
Going from 50 to 100 with a 4 core CPU saves about 3% CPU time and
3% wall clock time in a tree with blink, v8 and content
jumbofied. At the same time it increases the compile time for the
largest jumbo chunks by 10-20% and reduces the chance to use all
available CPU cores. So set the default to 50 to balance between
high and low-core build performance. -1 means do the default which
varies depending on whether goma is enabled.
libcpp_is_static
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/c++/c++.gni:33
ASan, MSan and TSan builds need to override operator new, operator delete,
and some exception handling symbols, so libc++ must be a shared library to
prevent duplicate symbol errors when linking.
Additionally, -fsanitize=vptr requires libc++ to be a shared library
because the ubsan runtime library that implements -fsanitize=vptr calls
dynamic_cast with the ABI type info classes, which won't return the right
answer if each DSO has its own copy of the ABI classes.
libyuv_disable_jpeg
Current value (from the default) = false
From //third_party/libyuv/libyuv.gni:15
libyuv_include_tests
Current value (from the default) = false
From //third_party/libyuv/libyuv.gni:14
libyuv_symbols_visible
Current value (from the default) = false
From //third_party/libyuv/BUILD.gn:19
When building a shared library using a target in WebRTC or
Chromium projects that depends on libyuv, setting this flag
to true makes libyuv symbols visible inside that library.
libyuv_use_gflags
Current value (from the default) = true
From //third_party/libyuv/BUILD.gn:14
Set to false to disable building with gflags.
libyuv_use_msa
Current value (from the default) = false
From //third_party/libyuv/libyuv.gni:18
libyuv_use_neon
Current value (from the default) = false
From //third_party/libyuv/libyuv.gni:16
link_pulseaudio
Current value (from the default) = false
From //media/media_options.gni:33
Allows distributions to link pulseaudio directly (DT_NEEDED) instead of
using dlopen. This helps with automated detection of ABI mismatches and
prevents silent errors.
linux_use_bundled_binutils
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/compiler/BUILD.gn:54
llvm_force_head_revision
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/toolchain/toolchain.gni:18
If this is set to true, or if LLVM_FORCE_HEAD_REVISION is set to 1
in the environment, we use the revision in the llvm repo to determine
the CLANG_REVISION to use, instead of the version hard-coded into
//tools/clang/scripts/update.py. This should only be used in
conjunction with setting LLVM_FORCE_HEAD_REVISION in the
environment when `gclient runhooks` is run as well.
mac_sdk_min
Current value (from the default) = "10.12"
From //build/config/mac/mac_sdk_overrides.gni:12

media_use_ffmpeg
Current value (from the default) = true
From //media/media_options.gni:38
Enable usage of FFmpeg within the media library. Used for most software
based decoding, demuxing, and sometimes optimized FFTs. If disabled,
implementors must provide their own demuxers and decoders.
media_use_libvpx
Current value (from the default) = true
From //media/media_options.gni:42
Enable usage of libvpx within the media library. Used for software based
decoding of VP9 and VP8A type content.
mojo_media_host
Current value (from the default) = "none"
From //media/media_options.gni:198
The process that the mojo MediaService runs in. By default, all services
registered in |mojo_media_services| are hosted in the MediaService, with the
exception that when |enable_library_cdms| is true, the "cdm" service will
run in a separate CdmService in the CDM (utility) process, while other
|mojo_media_services| still run in the MediaService in the process specified
by "mojo_media_host".
Valid options are:
- "none": Do not use mojo media service.
- "browser": Use mojo media service hosted in the browser process.
- "gpu": Use mojo media service hosted in the gpu process.
- "utility": Use mojo media service hosted in the utility process.
mojo_media_services
Current value (from the default) = []

- "renderer": Use mojo-based media Renderer service.
- "cdm": Use mojo-based Content Decryption Module.
- "audio_decoder": Use mojo-based audio decoder in the default media
Renderer. Cannot be used with the mojo Renderer above.
- "video_decoder": Use mojo-based video decoder in the default media
Renderer. Cannot be used with the mojo Renderer above.

The path to a file whose contents can be used as the basis for a message
ID scrambling salt.
mojom_message_id_salt_suffix_path
Current value (from the default) = ""
From //mojo/public/tools/bindings/mojom.gni:90
msan_track_origins
Current value (from the default) = 2
From //build/config/sanitizers/sanitizers.gni:38
Track where uninitialized memory originates from. From fastest to slowest:
0 - no tracking, 1 - track only the initial allocation site, 2 - track the
chain of stores leading from allocation site to use site.
msvc_use_absolute_paths
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/toolchain/toolchain.gni:32
Use absolute file paths in the compiler diagnostics and __FILE__ macro
if needed.
msvs_xtree_patched
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/compiler/BUILD.gn:74
Whether the VS xtree header has been patched to disable warning 4702. If
it has, then we don't need to disable 4702 (unreachable code warning).
The patch is preapplied to the internal toolchain and hence all bots.
ndk_supports_nativewindow
Current value (from the default) = false
From //third_party/angle/gni/angle.gni:42
ndk_supports_vulkan

branches)
optimize_webui
Current value (from the default) = false
From //ui/webui/webui_features.gni:9
Optimize parts of Chrome's UI written with web technologies (HTML/CSS/JS)
for runtime performance purposes. This does more work at compile time for
speed benefits at runtime (so we skip in debug builds).
override_build_date
Current value (from the default) = "N/A"
From //base/BUILD.gn:39
Override this value to give a specific build date.
See //base/build_time.cc and //build/write_build_date_header.py for more
details and the expected format.

pkg_config
Current value (from the default) = ""
From //build/config/linux/pkg_config.gni:33
A pkg-config wrapper to call instead of trying to find and call the right
pkg-config directly. Wrappers like this are common in cross-compilation
environments.
Leaving it blank defaults to searching PATH for 'pkg-config' and relying on
the sysroot mechanism to find the right .pc files.
proprietary_codecs
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/features.gni:29
Enables proprietary codecs and demuxers; e.g. H264, AAC, MP3, and MP4.
We always build Google Chrome and Chromecast with proprietary codecs.
Note: this flag is used by WebRTC which is DEPSed into Chrome. Moving it
out of //build will require using the build_overrides directory.

Include tests in standalone checkout.
rtc_initialize_ffmpeg
Current value (from the default) = false
From //third_party/webrtc/webrtc.gni:150
FFmpeg must be initialized for |H264DecoderImpl| to work. This can be done
by WebRTC during |H264DecoderImpl::InitDecode| or externally. FFmpeg must
only be initialized once. Projects that initialize FFmpeg externally, such
as Chromium, must turn this flag off so that WebRTC does not also
initialize.

build environments, even if available for Chromium builds.
rtc_use_h264
Current value (from the default) = false
From //third_party/webrtc/webrtc.gni:129
Enable this to build OpenH264 encoder/FFmpeg decoder. This is supported on
all platforms except Android and iOS. Because FFmpeg can be built
with/without H.264 support, |ffmpeg_branding| has to separately be set to a
value that includes H.264, for example "Chrome". If FFmpeg is built without
H.264, compilation succeeds but |H264DecoderImpl| fails to initialize. See
also: |rtc_initialize_ffmpeg|.
CHECK THE OPENH264, FFMPEG AND H.264 LICENSES/PATENTS BEFORE BUILDING.
http://www.openh264.org, https://www.ffmpeg.org/

From //build/config/features.gni:40
sample_profile_is_accurate
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/compiler/compiler.gni:90
Whether we should consider the profile we're using to be accurate. Accurate
profiles have the benefit of (potentially substantial) binary size
reductions, by instructing the compiler to optimize cold and uncovered
functions heavily for size. This often comes at the cost of performance.
sanitizer_coverage_flags
Current value (from the default) = ""
From //build/config/sanitizers/sanitizers.gni:99
Value for -fsanitize-coverage flag. Setting this causes
use_sanitizer_coverage to be enabled.

Indicates if the handle verifier should operate in a single module mode. By
default a single instance gets shared by all the modules.
skia_whitelist_serialized_typefaces
Current value (from the default) = false
From //skia/BUILD.gn:25
skip_archive_compression
Current value (from the default) = true
From //chrome/installer/mini_installer/BUILD.gn:20
The Chrome archive is compressed in official builds to reduce the size of
the installer. By default: non-official or component builds, a build mode
targeting developers, do not compress so as to provide quicker build-test
cycles.
strip_absolute_paths_from_debug_symbols
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/compiler/BUILD.gn:102
Optimize symbol files for maximizing goma cache hit rate. This is on by
default only when goma is enabled on Linux because setting this to true may
make it harder to debug binaries.
See below reference for detail.
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux_debugging.md#Source-level-debug-with-fdebug-prefix-map

How many symbols to include in the build. This affects the performance of
the build since the symbols are large and dealing with them is slow.
2 means regular build with symbols.
1 means minimal symbols, usually enough for backtraces only. Symbols with
internal linkage (static functions or those in anonymous namespaces) may not
appear when using this level.
0 means no symbols.
-1 means auto-set according to debug/release and platform.
system_libdir
Current value (from the default) = "lib"
From //build/config/linux/pkg_config.gni:47
CrOS systemroots place pkgconfig files at /usr/share/pkgconfig
and one of /usr/lib/pkgconfig or /usr/lib64/pkgconfig
depending on whether the systemroot is for a 32 or 64 bit architecture.
When build under GYP, CrOS board builds specify the 'system_libdir' variable
as part of the GYP_DEFINES provided by the CrOS emerge build or simple
chrome build scheme. This variable permits controlling this for GN builds
in similar fashion by setting the `system_libdir` variable in the build's
args.gn file to 'lib' or 'lib64' as appropriate for the target architecture.
target_cpu
Current value = "x86"
From //out/my_x86_d/args.gn:14

From //build/config/ui.gni:38
True means the UI is built using the "views" framework.
treat_warnings_as_errors
Current value (from the default) = true
From //build/config/compiler/BUILD.gn:43
Default to warnings as errors for default workflow, where we catch
warnings with known toolchains. Allow overriding this e.g. for Chromium
builds on Linux that could use a different version of the compiler.
With GCC, warnings in no-Chromium code are always not treated as errors.
use_afl
Current value (from the default) = false

From //build/config/sanitizers/sanitizers.gni:59
Enable checks for bad casts: derived cast and unrelated cast.
TODO(krasin): remove this, when we're ready to add these checks by default.
https://crbug.com/626794
use_cfi_diag

Current value (from the default) = false
From //printing/buildflags/buildflags.gni:18
use_custom_libcxx
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/c++/c++.gni:14
use_custom_libcxx_for_host
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/c++/c++.gni:24
Use libc++ instead of stdlibc++ when using the host_cpu toolchain, even if
use_custom_libcxx is false. This is useful for cross-compiles where a custom
toolchain for the target_cpu has been set as the default toolchain, but
use_custom_libcxx should still be true when building for the host. The
expected usage is to set use_custom_libcxx=false and
use_custom_libcxx_for_host=true in the passed in buildargs.
use_cxx11
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/compiler/BUILD.gn:105

use_debug_fission
Current value (from the default) = "default"
From //build/config/compiler/compiler.gni:42
use_debug_fission: whether to use split DWARF debug info
files. This can reduce link time significantly, but is incompatible
with some utilities such as icecc and ccache. Requires gold and
gcc >= 4.8 or clang.
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebugFission
This is a placeholder value indicating that the code below should set
the default. This is necessary to delay the evaluation of the default
value expression until after its input values such as use_gold have
been set, e.g. by a toolchain_args() block.
use_drfuzz
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/sanitizers/sanitizers.gni:87

icf=all is broken in older golds, see
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17704
See also https://crbug.com/663886
`linux_use_bundled_binutils` is to avoid breaking Linux distros which may
still have a buggy gold.
chromeos binutils has been patched with the fix, so always use icf there.
The bug only affects x86 and x64, so we can still use ICF when targeting
other architectures.
lld doesn't have the bug.
use_incremental_wpo
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/compiler/compiler.gni:55
Whether or not we should turn on incremental WPO. Only affects the VS
Windows build.
use_jumbo_build
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/jumbo.gni:11
If true, use a jumbo build (files compiled together) to speed up
compilation.
use_kerberos
Current value (from the default) = true
From //net/features.gni:24
Enable Kerberos authentication. It is disabled by default on iOS, Fuchsia
and Chromecast, at least for now. This feature needs configuration
(krb5.conf and so on). On Chrome OS it is only supported on Active
Directory managed devices.
TODO(fuchsia): Enable kerberos on Fuchsia when it's implemented there.
use_libfuzzer
Current value (from the default) = false

From //third_party/blink/renderer/config.gni:35
If true, defaults image interpolation to low quality.
use_official_google_api_keys
Current value (from the default) = ""
From //google_apis/BUILD.gn:31
You can set the variable 'use_official_google_api_keys' to true
to use the Google-internal file containing official API keys
for Google Chrome even in a developer build. Setting this
variable explicitly to true will cause your build to fail if the
internal file is missing.
The variable is documented here, but not handled in this file;
see //google_apis/determine_use_official_keys.gypi for the
implementation.
Set the variable to false to not use the internal file, even when
it exists in your checkout.
Leave it unset or set to "" to have the variable
implicitly set to true if you have
src/google_apis/internal/google_chrome_api_keys.h in your
checkout, and implicitly set to false if not.
Note that official builds always behave as if the variable
was explicitly set to true, i.e. they always use official keys,
and will fail to build if the internal file is missing.
use_openh264
Current value (from the default) = false
From //third_party/openh264/openh264_args.gni:11
Enable this to build OpenH264 (for encoding, not decoding).

Blink needs a recent and properly build-configured FreeType version to
support OpenType variations, color emoji and avoid security bugs. By default
we ship and link such a version as part of Chrome. For distributions that
prefer to keep linking to the version the system, FreeType must be newer
than version 2.7.1 and have color bitmap support compiled in. WARNING:
System FreeType configurations other than as described WILL INTRODUCE TEXT
RENDERING AND SECURITY REGRESSIONS.
use_system_harfbuzz
Current value (from the default) = false
From //third_party/harfbuzz-ng/harfbuzz.gni:11
Blink uses a cutting-edge version of Harfbuzz; most Linux distros do not
contain a new enough version of the code to work correctly. However,
ChromeOS chroots (i.e, real ChromeOS builds for devices) do contain a
new enough version of the library, and so this variable exists so that
ChromeOS can build against the system lib and keep binary sizes smaller.

use_vs_code_analysis
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/config/win/BUILD.gn:21
Set this to true to enable static analysis through Visual Studio's
/analyze. This dramatically slows compiles and reports thousands of
warnings, so normally this is done on a build machine and only the new
warnings are examined.
use_webaudio_ffmpeg
Current value (from the default) = true
From //third_party/blink/renderer/config.gni:38
If true, ffmpeg will be used for decoding audio.
use_xcode_clang
Current value (from the default) = false
From //build/toolchain/toolchain.gni:23

v8_static_library
Current value (from the default) = false
From //v8/gni/v8.gni:52
Use static libraries instead of source_sets.
v8_target_cpu
Current value (from the default) = ""
From //build/config/v8_target_cpu.gni:33
This arg is used when we want to tell the JIT-generating v8 code
that we want to have it generate for an architecture that is different
than the architecture that v8 will actually run on; we then run the
code under an emulator. For example, we might run v8 on x86, but
generate arm code and run that under emulation.
This arg is defined here rather than in the v8 project because we want
some of the common architecture-specific args (like arm_float_abi or
mips_arch_variant) to be set to their defaults either if the current_cpu
applies *or* if the v8_current_cpu applies.
As described below, you can also specify the v8_target_cpu to use
indirectly by specifying a `custom_toolchain` that contains v8_$cpu in the
name after the normal toolchain.
For example, `gn gen --args="custom_toolchain=...:clang_x64_v8_arm64"`
is equivalent to setting --args=`v8_target_cpu="arm64"`. Setting
`custom_toolchain` is more verbose but makes the toolchain that is
(effectively) being used explicit.
v8_target_cpu can only be used to target one architecture in a build,
so if you wish to build multiple copies of v8 that are targeting
different architectures, you will need to do something more
complicated involving multiple toolchains along the lines of
custom_toolchain, above.
