cef概述
CEF3使用多个进程运行。处理窗口创建、绘制和网络访问的主要进程称为浏览器进程。这通常与宿主应用程序的进程相同,大多数应用程序的逻辑将在浏览器进程中运行。使用Blink引擎渲染HTML和JavaScript执行在单独的渲染进程中发生。一些应用程序逻辑(如JavaScript绑定和DOM访问)也将在渲染进程中运行。
浏览器进程(Browser Process):
- 窗口创建、绘制
- 网络访问
- ......
渲染进程(Renderer Process):
- 通过Blink引擎渲染HTML
- JavaScript执行(V8引擎)
- ......

翻译:
该函数应当在应用程序的入口函数处被调用,用以执行一个子进程。它可以用于执行一个可执行程序来启动一个子进程,该可执行程序可以是当前的浏览器客户端可执行程序(默认行为)或是通过设置CefSettings.browser_subprocess_path指定路径的可执行程序。如果被调用用于浏览器进程(在启动命令行中没有"type"参数),该函数会立刻返回-1。如果被调用时识别为子进程,该函数将会阻塞直到子进程退出并且返回子进程退出的返回码。application参数可以为空(null)。windows_sandbox_info参数只能在Windows上使用或设置为NULL(详见cef_sandbox_win.h)
CEF在以多进程架构下启动的时候,会多次启动自身可执行程序。启动的时候,会通过命令行参数传入某些标识,由CefExecuteProcess内部进行判断。
- 如果是主进程,则该函数立刻返回-1,程序会继续执行下去,那么后续继续运行的代码全部都运行在主进程中;
- 如果是子进程(渲染进程等),那么该函数会阻塞住,直到子进程结束后,该函数会返回一个大于等于0的值,并在main函数直接返回,进而退出。
CefApp
// SimpleApp implements application-level callbacks for the browser process.
// It will create the first browser instance in OnContextInitialized() after
// CEF has initialized.
CefRefPtr<SimpleApp> app(new SimpleApp);
释翻:
SimpleApp实现了对于浏览器进程在应用级别的回调。该实例CEF初始化后(initialized),在OnContextInitialized中会创建第一个browser实例
SimpleApp类继承自CefApp,后面会详细说明。

常用成员
- single_process:
设置为true将为浏览器和渲染使用单进程。此项也可以通过命令行参数“single-process”配置。 - no_sandbox:
沙盒是在受限的安全环境中运行应用程序的一种做法,这种做法是要限制授予应用程序的代码访问权限。沙盒中的所有改动对操作系统不会造成任何损失。设置为ture(1) 以禁止子进程的沙箱。 - browser_subprocess_path:
设置用于启动子进程单独执行器的路径。 - multi_threaded_message_loop:
为false时,可以调用CefRunMessageLoop或者CefDoMessageLoopWork函数来触发Cef消息循环,这时浏览器进程的UI线程就是调用CefRunMessageLoop或者CefDoMessageLoopWork函数的线程。当为true时。浏览器进程的UI线程是另外的线程。设置multi_threaded_message_loop为true则使用多线程消息循环。一般默认为false,使用定时器进行事件触发CefDoMessageLoopWork来进行事件处理。(仅在windows上支持此选项) - windowless_rendering_enabled:
离屏渲染,需要在CefRenderHandler里实现OnPaint。设置为true(1)以启用无窗口(屏幕外)渲染支持。如果应用程序不使用无窗口渲染,请不要启用此值,它可能会降低某些系统上的渲染性能。 - command_line_args_idsabled:
cef3和chromium中的许多特性都可以用命令行参数来设置。这些参数使用”–some-argument[=optional-param]”的格式并通过CefExecuteProcess()和CefMainArgs结构体传递给cef。
禁用命令行参数,在调用CefInitialize()函数之前,将CefSettings.command_line_args_disabled设为true。
指定主应用程序的命令行参数,需要实现CefApp::OnBeforeCommandLineProcessing()方法。
指定传递给子进程的命令行参数,需要实现CefApp::OnBeforeCommandLineProcessing()方法。 - cache_path:
设置磁盘上用于存放缓存数据的位置。如果为空则将以“隐身模式”创建浏览器,其中内存缓存用于存储,并且没有数据持久保存到磁盘。如果指定了缓存路径,则 localStorage 等HTML5数据库将仅在会话中保持不变。可以通过CefRequestContextSettings.cache_path值覆盖单个CefRequestContext实例。
如果为空,内存缓存会被某些特性使用,临时磁盘缓存会被其他地方使用。如果不为空,如HTML5本地存储数据库会跨域。 - user_data_path:
将拼写检查字典文件等用户数据存储在磁盘上的位置。如果为空,则将使用默认的特定于平台的用户数据目录(Linux上的“〜/ .cef_user_data”目录,
“Mac OS X上的〜/ Library / Application Support / CEF / User Data”目录,
Windows上用户“Local Settings\Application Data\CEF\User Data”目录)。
persist_session_cookies:
在使用全局cookie管理器时,默认情况下, 要保持会话cookie(没有到期日期或有效期的间隔),将此值设置为true(1)。会话cookie通常是暂时的,大多数Web浏览器不会持久化。A | cache_path | 还必须指定值以启用此功能。也可以使用“persist-session-cookies”命令行开关进行配置。可以通过CefRequestContextSettings.persist_session_cookies值覆盖各个CefRequestContext实例。 - persist_user_preferences:
将用户首选项作为JSON文件保存在缓存路径目录中将此值设置为true(1)。A | cache_path | 还必须指定以启用此功能。也可以使用“persist-user-preferences”命令行开关进行配置。可以通过 CefRequestContextSettings.persist_user_preferences值覆盖各个CefRequestContext实例。 - user_agent:
设置客户端标识,服务器可以识别是从哪里发来的请求。 - product_version:
将作为默认User-Agent字符串的产品部分插入的值。如果为空,将使用Chromium产品版本。如果 | userAgent | 指定此值将被忽略。也可以配置使用“product-version”命令行开关。 - locale :
此设置项将传递给Blink。如果此项为空,将使用默认值“en-US”。在Linux平台下此项被忽略,使用环境变量中的值,解析的依次顺序为:LANGUAE,LC_ALL,LC_MESSAGES和LANG。此项也可以通过命令行参数“lang”配置。 - log_file :
此项设置的文件夹和文件名将用于输出debug日志。如果此项为空,默认的日志文件名为debug.log,位于应用程序所在的目录。此项也可以通过命令参数“log-file”配置。 - log_severity :
此项设置日志级别。只有此等级、或者比此等级高的日志的才会被记录。此项可以通过命令行参数“log-severity”配置,可以设置的值为“verbose”,“info”,“warning”,“error”,“error-report”,“disable”。 - javascript_flags :
初始化V8 JavaScript引擎时将使用的自定义标志。使用自定义标志的后果可能未经过充分测试。也使用“JS-标志”命令行开关//配置。 - resources_dir_path :
此项设置资源文件夹的位置。如果此项为空,Windows平台下cef.pak、devtools_resourcs.pak、Mac OS X下的app bundle Resources目录必须位于组件目录。此项也可以通过命令行参数“resource-dir-path”配置。 - locales_dir_path :
此项设置locale文件夹位置。如果此项为空,locale文件夹必须位于组件目录,在Mac OS X平台下此项被忽略,pak文件从app bundle Resources目录。此项也可以通过命令行参数“locales-dir-path”配置。 - pack_loading_disabled :
设置为true(1)以禁用资源和区域设置的包文件加载。如果禁用了包文件的加载,则必须为浏览器提供资源包处理程序并通过CefApp :: GetResourceBundleHandler()呈现进程。也可以使用“disable-pack-loading”命令 进行开关进行配置。 - remote_debugging_port :
此项可以设置1024-65535之间的值,用于在指定端口开启远程调试。例如,如果设置的值为8080,远程调试的URL为http://localhost:8080。CEF或者Chrome浏览器能够调试CEF。此项也可以通过命令行参数“remote-debugging-port”配置。 - uncaught_exception_stack_size :
捕获未捕获异常的堆栈跟踪帧数。指定一个正值以启用CefRenderProcessHandler::OnUncaughtException()回调。指定0(默认值)和不会调用OnUncaughtException()。也可以使用uncaught-exception-stack-size”命令行开关进行配置。 - context_safety_implementation
- ignore_certificate_errors:
设置为true(1)以忽略与无效SSL证书相关的错误。启用此设置可能会导致潜在的安全漏洞,例如“中间人”攻击。从Internet 加载内容的应用程序不应启用此设置。也可以使用“ignore-certificate-errors”命令行开关进行配置。可以通过 CefRequestContextSettings.ignore_certificate_errors值覆盖各个CefRequestContext实例。 - background_color:
在加载文档之前和没有指定文档颜色时用于浏览器的背景颜色。alpha分量必须是完全不透明(0xFF)或完全透明(0x00)。如果alpha分量完全是不透明的,则RGB分量将用作背景颜色。如果 alpha组件对于窗口浏览器完全透明,则使用默认值opaque white。如果alpha组件对于无窗口(屏幕外)浏览器是完全透明的,那么将启用透明绘制 - ccept_language_list :
逗号分隔的有序语言代码列表,没有任何空格将在“Accept-Language”HTTP标头中使用。可以使用CefBrowserSettings.accept_language_list值在每个浏览器的基础上覆盖。如果两个值都为空,则使用“en-US,en”。可以通过CefRequestContextSettings.accept_language_list值覆盖各个CefRequestContext实例。
一些重要接口说明
//用于检测是当前进程是否是浏览器进程(main入口函数调用)
int CefExecuteProcess(const CefMainArgs& args, CefRefPtr<CefApp> application, void* windows_sandbox_info);
//主线程里面初始化Cef 浏览器进程信息
bool CefInitialize(const CefMainArgs& args,const CefSettings& settings,CefRefPtr<CefApp> application, void* windows_sandbox_info);
//浏览器进程退出的时候调用
void CefShutdown();
//在CefInitialize之后调用,建议使用CefRunMessageLoop替代CefDoMessageLoopWork,
如果使用此函数那么将会回调CefBrowserProcessHandler::OnScheduleMessagePumpWork()
void CefDoMessageLoopWork();
//运行Cef 消息环,如果调用CefQuitMessageLoop则退出消息环
void CefRunMessageLoop();
//通知cef消息环退出
void CefQuitMessageLoop();
//调用windows Api进入模态消息环之前设置为true,退出模态消息环的时候设置为false,例如TrackPopupMenu
void CefSetOSModalLoop(bool osModalLoop);
//启用高DPI支持
void CefEnableHighDPISupport();
