would you mind a comment describing what sort of element a cc::ElementId
identifies? How do they correspond to layers? Is cc responsible for issuing
them, or the client?

Done.

no need to write |inline| here.

Done.

style: please put CC_EXPORT before the return type in function declarations

[Ian Vollick, 2016/06/03 19:31:21]

Done.
