This should be BASE_DEBUG_TRACE_EVENT_VALUE_H_.

[rterrazas, 2013/08/08 06:21:30]

Done.

What about calling the two begins that take a key:

void PushDictionary(const char* key);
void PushArray(const char* key);

Keeps the name and meaning close to what we have below with the various Push
methods.

[rterrazas, 2013/08/08 06:21:30]

Done.

Linter think's we're using a C-style cast here, can we ignore?.

Done.

Should this have a: DCHECK_EQ(BEGIN_DICTIONARY, begin_opcodes_.top()) to verify
we have a dictionary open?

[rterrazas, 2013/08/08 06:21:30]

Yes, I had it in PushKeyToPickle() but I agree, makes more sense to put this
here. Done.
