webpack并不总是会引入process对象，而是在应用使用到process对象时，对process对象进行polyfill处理，通常出现在靠process.env.NODE_ENV来确定是生产还是开发环境的地方(开发环境会输出一些提示和报错信息，生产环境不会) 相关代码可以在webpack的依赖的依赖中找到，代码不长，直接贴在下面了

// shim for using process in browser
var process = module.exports = {};

// cached from whatever global is present so that test runners that stub it
// don't break things.  But we need to wrap it in a try catch in case it is
// wrapped in strict mode code which doesn't define any globals.  It's inside a
// function because try/catches deoptimize in certain engines.

归根结底这是一个假的process

@dislido 感谢解答，有莫大帮助

@billyhoomm 看到node-libs-browser 才知道原来啥东西都能造个假- -，还是感谢一楼科普
