# bestflags

There is a vast set of compiler flags that can be used to build Chrome for
|
||
|
|
ChromeOS. This option space has not been explored before. This directory
|
||
|
|
provides an infrastructure to build Chrome with certain flag combinations, test
|
||
|
|
it, gather results and prepare a fresh batch of flags to repeat the process. The
|
||
|
|
infrastructure supports plug-in modules that implement algorithms for searching
|
||
|
|
in the N-Dimensional space of compiler flag combinations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Currently, three different algorithms are built, namely genetic algorithm, hill
|
||
|
|
climbing and negative flag iterative elimination. The module `testing_batch.py`
|
||
|
|
contains the testing of these algorithms.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To run the script, type in `python testing_batch.py`.
