sqlite: Disable unused features via compile-time options.
This CL shrinks the Linux binary by 34KB (138,266,816 to 138,232,320).
Code savings aside, this makes sure we don't unintentionally start
depending on these features.
The following compile-time options are recommended in the SQLite
documentation [1]:
* SQLITE_LIKE_DOESNT_MATCH_BLOBS - The LIKE and GLOB operators don't
work on BLOB columns. This access pattern would be a performance
wrench, so it's nice to fail hard here.
* SQLITE_OMIT_DEPRECATED - This removes support for deprecated SQLite
APIs. Note that SQLite promises to maintain indefinite backwards
compatbility for SQL queries (modulo features disabled via
compile-time options), so this only applies to the SQLite API. We
should never be using deprecated APIs.
* SQLITE_OMIT_PROGRESS_CALLBACK - Remove sqlite3_progress_handler(). We
don't use this feature, and the documentation says it comes with a
small performance penalty.
* SQLITE_OMIT_SHARED_CACHE - Using a shared cache sounds nice from a
memory consumption standpoint, and we already do that for LevelDB.
Unfortunately, Chromium's SQLite databases use a variety of page
sizes, which makes cache sharing impossible.
* SQLITE_USE_ALLOCA - Use alloca() instead of malloc() for allocating
temporary spaces in functions. All of Chrome's platforms support this
option, and it results in a slightly smaller binary and less heap churn.
The following compile-time options disable features that happen not to
be used.
* SQLITE_OMIT_AUTOINIT: We initialize SQLite manually in //sql/connection.cc.
* SQLITE_OMIT_AUTORESET: We calls sqlite3_reset() correctly to reset prepared
statements.
* SQLITE_OMIT_GET_TABLE: We don't use sqlite3_{get,free}_table().
* SQLITE_OMIT_LOAD_EXTENSION: We don't use sqlite3_{enable_}load_extension().
Asides from the code savings, there's a tiny security benefit to
knowing that extension loading code is definitely not reachable from WebSQL.
* SQLITE_OMIT_TCL_VARIABLE: We don't use TCL variables.
* SQLITE_OMIT_TRACE: We don't use sqlite3_{profile,trace}().
