A challenge for getting LibTest working on Windows has always been CrashTest. It implements death tests similar to Google Test where a child process is cloned to invoke the expression that should abort/terminate the program. Then the exit code of the child is used by the parent test process to verify if the application correctly aborted/terminated due to invoking the expression. The problem was that finding an equivalent way to port Crash::run() to Windows was not looking very likely as publicly exposed Win32/ Native APIs have no equivalent to fork(); however, Windows actually does have native support for process cloning via undocumented NT APIs that clever people reverse engineered and published, see `NtCreateUserProcess()`. All that being said, this `EXPECT_DEATH()` implementation avoids needing to use a child process in general, allowing us to remove CrashTest in favour of a single cross-platform solution for death tests. |

Ladybird
Ladybird is a truly independent web browser, using a novel engine based on web standards.
Important
Ladybird is in a pre-alpha state, and only suitable for use by developers
Features
We aim to build a complete, usable browser for the modern web.
Ladybird uses a multi-process architecture with a main UI process, several WebContent renderer processes, an ImageDecoder process, and a RequestServer process.
Image decoding and network connections are done out of process to be more robust against malicious content. Each tab has its own renderer process, which is sandboxed from the rest of the system.
At the moment, many core library support components are inherited from SerenityOS:
- LibWeb: Web rendering engine
- LibJS: JavaScript engine
- LibWasm: WebAssembly implementation
- LibCrypto/LibTLS: Cryptography primitives and Transport Layer Security
- LibHTTP: HTTP/1.1 client
- LibGfx: 2D Graphics Library, Image Decoding and Rendering
- LibUnicode: Unicode and locale support
- LibMedia: Audio and video playback
- LibCore: Event loop, OS abstraction layer
- LibIPC: Inter-process communication
How do I build and run this?
See build instructions for information on how to build Ladybird.
Ladybird runs on Linux, macOS, Windows (with WSL2), and many other *Nixes.
How do I read the documentation?
Code-related documentation can be found in the documentation folder.
