chrome ipc (win) 笔记

chrome在windows下的进程间通讯使用的是命名管道, 性能不错, 所以想研究一下.

硬盘上有以前下载的源码, 版本为: chromium.r131329

在目录\home\chrome-svn\tarball\chromium\src\ipc可以找到ipc的相关代码

ipc_channel_win.cc:

一. 创建命名管道

bool Channel::ChannelImpl::CreatePipe(const IPC::ChannelHandle &channel_handle,
                                      Mode mode) {
  DCHECK_EQ(INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE, pipe_);
  string16 pipe_name;
  // If we already have a valid pipe for channel just copy it.
  if (channel_handle.pipe.handle) {//管道已经存在
    DCHECK(channel_handle.name.empty());
    pipe_name = L"Not Available";  // Just used for LOG
    // Check that the given pipe confirms to the specified mode.  We can
    // only check for PIPE_TYPE_MESSAGE & PIPE_SERVER_END flags since the
    // other flags (PIPE_TYPE_BYTE, and PIPE_CLIENT_END) are defined as 0.
    DWORD flags = 0;
    GetNamedPipeInfo(channel_handle.pipe.handle, &flags, NULL, NULL, NULL)
