转：ffos:Firefox OS启动过程分析－b2g进程启动

https://blog.csdn.net/zembers/article/details/48495627

b2g启动时，运行”/system/b2g/b2g”，入口在”gecko/b2g/app/B2GLoader.cpp”中，如下：

int
main(int argc, const char* argv[])
{
  /**
   * Reserve file descriptors before loading static data.
   */
  FdArray reservedFds;
  ReserveFileDescriptors(reservedFds);

  /*
   * Before fork(), libxul and static data of Gecko are loaded for
   * sharing.
   */
  bool ok = LoadStaticData(argc, argv);
  if (!ok) {
    return 255;
  }

  return RunProcesses(argc, argv, reservedFds);

代码执行流程如下所示：

b2g进程启动中，会做以下几件事：
1. 在加载库文件之前保留5个文件描述符（从STDERR_FILENO+1开始）

  FdArray reservedFds;
  ReserveFileDescriptors(reservedFds);

2.加载进程间能共享的各种数据（主要加载libxul等各种共享库，从Omnijar文件中加载各种模块的xpt信息），这样可以节约些内存。

bool ok = LoadStaticData(argc, argv);

• 1

3.开始fork进程。父亲就是b2g进程，儿子就是nuwa进程（后续再讲）。其中b2g进程具有系统root权限，负责处理系统的io，显示，操作底层硬件等。
在b2g进程中运行后，需要初始化xpcom，即调用：

  rv = NS_InitXPCOM2(&mServiceManager,gDirServiceProvider->GetAppDir(), gDirServiceProvider);

• 1

最后，b2g进程会进入一个message loop中，等待处理各种请求：

appStartup->Run();

• 1

Firefox OS中进程可以分为三类：b2g进程，nuwa进程，以及content进程。其中content进程都是由nuwa进程生成的（当然在nuwa进程未ready，但又需要fork进程的时候，有可能会由b2g进程直接生成）。

nuwa进程是如何创建新进程？b2g是如何加载第一个程序(system)的？后续文章中进行讲解。
