Chromium evaluation

Get source

Newer version of Chromium (at least >100) are not compatible with current Type++ as it requires LLVM 14 specific functionallities while Type++ is LLVM12. We settled on chromium-90.0.4430.212 available in the debian buster repository.

Build

We provide different build configuration. You can run them with

./run_chromium.py typepp

for Type++ for example.

Issues

1. When compiling Chromium with CFI and a ASAN-enabled Type++ compiler we get some linking error.

ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __asan_stack_free_5 in typeplus.cpp
...

2. no more issue
