For testing go to Chromium testing
gn gen out/Default
Time references
My first full build using autoninja -C out/Default -j8 took about 5 hours, running with full CPU was crashing halfway, that’s why I tested with -j8
Building tests like ozone_unittests after having a full build was pretty fast.
Building ozone_unittests without a full build with my Rizen 7 at full CPU took about 25 minutes
With reclient ozone_unittests go down to about 5 minutes
siso
Using siso it seems to go a bit faster, just have to add use_siso = true to gn args
Siso doesn’t support the -j flag, which makes it more likely to crash, although it compiles a bit faster.
Data consumption
Using siso a full build of target chrome uses around 7,38GB of data
