| # Updating malioc |
| |
| Flutter uses `malioc` from the Arm Mobile Studio to statically analyze |
| Impeller's shaders. See `impeller/tools/malioc_diff.py` for more information |
| about that. |
| |
| The files in this directory are instructions for updating the `flutter_internal` |
| CIPD package that CI uses to obtain `malioc`. |
| |
| ## Steps |
| |
| 1. Download the Arm Mobile Studio from [Arm](https://developer.arm.com/Tools%20and%20Software/Arm%20Mobile%20Studio) |
| 2. Extract the `.zip` archive into a directory called `arm-tools` sibling to |
| this file. |
| 3. Check that the `arm-tools` directory contains a child directory |
| `mali_offline_compiler`. If it instead contains a child directory which |
| is something like `Arm_Mobile_Studio_2022.4`, then copy the contents of that |
| directory to `arm-tools` instead. |
| 4. Run the `generate.sh` script in this directory. |
| 5. Verify that the file appears [here](https://chrome-infra-packages.appspot.com/p/flutter_internal/tools). |
| 6. Update `.ci.yaml` to refer to the new version tag echoed by `generate.sh`. |
| 7. Delete the `arm-tools` directory |
