If clients want to provide // a custom version, they will have to: // // 1. Compile WebRTC defining the preprocessor macro // WEBRTC_EXCLUDE_FIELD_TRIAL_DEFAULT (if GN is used this can be achieved // by setting the GN arg rtc_exclude_field_trial_default to true). // 2. Provide an implementation of: // std::string webrtc::field_trial::FindFullName(const std::string& trial). // // They are designed to wire up directly to chrome field trials and to speed up // developers by reducing the need to wire APIs to control whether a feature is // on/off. E.g. to experiment with a new method that could lead to a different // trade-off between CPU/bandwidth: // // 1 - Develop the feature with default behaviour off: // // if (FieldTrial::FindFullName("WebRTCExperimentMethod2") == "Enabled") // method2(); // else // method1(); // // 2 - Once the changes are rolled to chrome, the new code path can be // controlled as normal chrome field trials. // // 3 - Evaluate the new feature and clean the code paths. // // Notes: // - NOT every feature is a candidate to be controlled by this mechanism as // it may require negotiation between involved parties (e.g. SDP). // // TODO(andresp): since chrome --force-fieldtrials does not marks the trial // as active it does not get propagated to the renderer process. For now one // needs to push a config with start_active:true or run a local finch // server. // // TODO(andresp): find out how to get bots to run tests with trials enabled. namespace webrtc { namespace field_trial { // Returns the group name chosen for the named trial, or the empty string // if the trial does not exists. // // Note: To keep things tidy append all the trial names with WebRTC. std::string FindFullName(const std::string& name); // Convenience method, returns true iff FindFullName(name) return a string that // starts with "Enabled". // TODO(tommi): Make sure all implementations support this. inline bool IsEnabled(const char* name) { return FindFullName(name).find("Enabled") == 0; } // Convenience method, returns true iff FindFullName(name) return a string that // starts with "Disabled". inline bool IsDisabled(const char* name) { return FindFullName(name).find("Disabled") == 0; } // Optionally initialize field trial from a string. // This method can be called at most once before any other call into webrtc. // E.g. before the peer connection factory is constructed. // Note: trials_string must never be destroyed. void InitFieldTrialsFromString(const char* trials_string); const char* GetFieldTrialString(); #ifndef WEBRTC_EXCLUDE_FIELD_TRIAL_DEFAULT // Validates the given field trial string. bool FieldTrialsStringIsValid(const char* trials_string); // Merges two field trial strings. // // If a key (trial) exists twice with conflicting values (groups), the value // in 'second' takes precedence. // Shall only be called with valid FieldTrial strings. std::string MergeFieldTrialsStrings(const char* first, const char* second); #endif // WEBRTC_EXCLUDE_FIELD_TRIAL_DEFAULT } // namespace field_trial } // namespace webrtc #endif // SYSTEM_WRAPPERS_INCLUDE_FIELD_TRIAL_H_
