Processes, Threads and IPC

==========================

|
|
These pages contain the documentation for Gecko's architecture for platform
|
|
process and thread creation, communication and synchronization. They live
|
|
in mozilla-central in the 'ipc/docs' directory.

For inter-process communication involving Javascript, see `JSActors`_. They
|
|
are a very limited case, used for communication between elements in the DOM,
|
|
which may exist in separate processes. They only involve the main process and
|
|
content processes -- no other processes run Javascript.
