* Enable flutter engine to also work with .*so files on android
We would like to be able to use native tools (e.g. simpleperf, gdb) with
precompiled flutter apps. The native tools work much better with *.so
files instead of the custom formats the Dart VM uses by default.
This CL adds support for being able to load the flutter app from an *.so
file on Android.
* Add sanity check to ensure we have either shared library or instruction snapshot (but not both)
* Read core platform kernel file during Dart initialization.
Currently service isolate is initialized from the source code parsed by VM.
This CL changes it so service isolate created during Dart initialization
is created from the kernel platform.dill file if it is present in the application
bundle. Then this platform kernel file is kept in dart_init module and reused
for application sciprt isolates.
* Reformat and merge
* Use accessor method
* Avoid passing running_from_kernel param. Add TODO for cleanup. Rename param.
Breaking change: removed facilities for JSON and string messaging from FlutterView/FlutterViewController, leaving only binary messaging there. All other use of flutter communication now goes through FlutterMessageChannel and FlutterMethodChannels. Retained use of String and JSON codecs for now.
Companion flutter PR: flutter/flutter#8837
The platform use cases are handled by the PlatformPlugin. The media service and
the sensor service have no clients. If we want to use them, we should create
plugins for them.
* Namespaces have been updated to reflect the move from //flutter/sky/shell to //flutter/shell.
* shell/BUILD.gn file has been split into smaller GN files for each subcomponent of the shell (common, GPU, diagnostic, testing).
* GN dependencies have been rewritten to stop exposing common shell dependencies as public. Duplicates have also been removed.
* GPU subcomponent has been updated make it more suitable for Vulkan integration.
* The GLFW backend has been resurrected.
