Fix for C++20 support. Math between enums of disparate types is deprecated. Use constexprs instead. Bug: chromium:1284275 Change-Id: I9d675cd2cf85f4876c124c9a6dc6a01cd8815037 Reviewed-on: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/cdm/+/3630721 Reviewed-by: Xiaohan Wang <xhwang@chromium.org>
This directory contains files that define the shared library interface between an Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) Content Decryption Module (CDM) and Chromium or other user agents. It is used to build both user agents and CDMs.
This is also referred to as the “CDM interface” in the context of library CDM and in this doc.
TODO(xhwang): Add more sections describing the CDM interface.
A new CDM interface that‘s still under development is subject to change. This is called an “experimental CDM interface”. To avoid compatibility issues, a user agent should not support an experimental CDM interface by default (it’s okay to support it behind a flag). Similarly, a CDM vendor should not ship a CDM using an experimental CDM interface to end users.
The experimental status of a CDM interface ends when the development is complete and the CDM interface is marked as stable. A stable CDM interface defines an application binary interface (ABI) between the CDM and the host, which should never be changed. Some minor ABI-compatible changes can still be made on a stable CDM interface to improve readability or to avoid unnecessary complexity. For example:
Note that even though these changes are ABI-compatible, the implementation may still need to be updated, e.g. to handle the new enum type in a switch case block.
On newer CDM interfaces, a static boolean member kIsStable is present to indicate whether the CDM interface is stable or experimental.
