Where in chromium source code is located the function to start child thread

[asmeks gebalas]

I would like to know where in chromium source code is located the function where child process are started, exemple there is the parent process chrome.exe and some sort of sub process for rendering ... , i would like to know where in chromium code this function is located ( I already searched with chromium code search engine )

The renderer subprocesses are started in a sandbox, which on Windows is started through "sandbox::BrokerServices::SpawnTarget". Searching for "SpawnTarget should find you the places where sandboxed processes are started.

For the renderer process specifically it looks like it's related to https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/content/browser/renderer_host/render_process_host_impl.cc?q=SpawnTarget

On Windows take a look at https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/sandbox/win/src/target_process.cc?rcl=5d385656eccd65a2c3e0306813cf3d331488b0fb&l=139 or `bp chrome!sandbox::TargetProcess::Create` and start exploring.
