This is the first step in making Flutter aware of and responsive to Z bound overflow. On its own this patch shouldn't result in any changes in behavior. This will need to be followed up with a patch in Fuchsia's Flutter runner to set the Z bounds after this lands, and another patch in the engine actually implementing the desired overflow behavior. This Z bound info is routed through the engine itself to make sure the bounds in flow are truly consistent from the Fuchsia runner. However these values should eventually be exposed to the framework as well.
Flutter Engine
Flutter is a new way to build high-performance, cross-platform mobile apps. Flutter is optimized for today's, and tomorrow's, mobile devices. We are focused on low-latency input and high frame rates on Android and iOS.
The Flutter Engine is a portable runtime for hosting Flutter applications. It implements Flutter's core libraries, including animation and graphics, file and network I/O, accessibility support, plugin architecture, and a Dart runtime and compile toolchain. Most developers will interact with Flutter via the Flutter Framework, which provides a modern, reactive framework, and a rich set of platform, layout and foundation widgets.
