UE5的引擎初始化流程

首先跟着UE的官方文档[1]获取到UE的源代码，然后在参考GitHub上repo的readme，将UE引擎从源码build出来。以Windows平台为例，先找到引擎的入口函数：

int32 WINAPI WinMain(_In_ HINSTANCE hInInstance, _In_opt_ HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, _In_ char* pCmdLine, _In_ int32 nCmdShow)
{
	int32 Result = LaunchWindowsStartup(hInInstance, hPrevInstance, pCmdLine, nCmdShow, nullptr);
	LaunchWindowsShutdown();
	return Result;
}

可以看到入口函数很简单，就分为startup和shutdown两部分，那么想必引擎的主循环是在这个startup里。startup函数主要负责初始化各种调用环境，解析命令行参数，调用真正的main函数：

LAUNCH_API int32 LaunchWindowsStartup( HINSTANCE hInInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, char*, int32 nCmdShow, const TCHAR* CmdLine )
{
	// Setup common Windows settings
	SetupWindowsEnvironment();

	int32 ErrorLevel			= 0;
	hInstance				= hInInstance;

	if (!CmdLine)
	{
		CmdLine = ::GetCommandLineW();

		// Attempt to process the command-line arguments using the standard Windows implementation
		// (This ensures behavior parity with other platforms where argc and argv are used.)
		if ( ProcessCommandLine() )
		{
			CmdLine = *GSavedCommandLine;
		}
	}

    ErrorLevel = GuardedMain( CmdLine );

	return ErrorLeve
