Extra renderer and utility process in CEF 79

[user6294]

Hi

In upgrading from 58 to 79, our CEF app is showing and extra utility and extra renderer process. Is that expected for CEF 79 codebase.

Thanks

Utility is the network service see https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... orkservice

The spare render process is discussed at https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... t-54186905

Hi Alex

Thanks a lot, that helps (extra renderer), but why two utility processes, is that normal (I know one is for network stack 2622), is the other a spare (same kind of policy, to reduce startup time should an out-of-band/special network request needs to be serviced?)


Thanks

As in you have to processes with --type=utility? Possibly it's the audio service? I don't remember what process type audio uses, the extra process will be for a component.

Chromium is moving to a service model where major components are run in their own processes.
