| It is possible to run Skia's correctness tool, dm, and benchmarking tool, |
| nanobench, on top of the GL ES interface provided by Chromium's command |
| buffer. |
| |
| The Skia tools are always built with this support. They dynamically load |
| the command buffer as a shared library and thus no GYP/GN flags are |
| required. |
| |
| The command buffer standalone shared library is built in a Chromium checkout |
| by building the `command_buffer_gles2` target. The command buffer should be |
| built with the `is_component_build` in GN set to false. This will produce a .so, |
| .dylib, or .dll depending on the target OS. This should be copied alongside |
| the dm or nanobench executable built from a Skia repository. |
| |
| Both tools have a `commandbuffer` config which can be used with the `--config` |
| option to the tool and will run the tests or benchmarks using the command buffer |
| library. Unit tests in dm always run on all appropriate and available backends |
| regardless of the `--config` flag. |
