Interprocess Communication

ribaud

Hi all,

i am working on a communication method between two apps.
the first app is a pure c++ project, potentially usable on windows and linux.
the second app will be a dotnet app using winforms. it will give orders to the first app. winforms are used to make a good looking and simple interface for third party users.
The communication method must be usable on linux in order to create a third app which could also run on linux. (maybe using mono? i dont know for now how it is working)

I found several solutions :

- Named pipes : good but not usable under win98/95 so i cant use this
- Remoting in Net : same and linux problems
- ...

Do you have an idea ?
thx you ^^

- Sockets.
- Higher-level network mechanism, such as Corba or Web Services.

- Named pipes : good but not usable under win98/95 so i cant use this do you really want to support 9x?
i would advise against this. - Remoting in Net : same and linux problems
- ...

Do you have an idea ? i am in the same situation. i am developing software that has to run on
linux, but i do development crossplatform on windows because of visual
studio's debugging capabilities.

i have implemented fifo queues that use shared memory. one program puts
messages in on one end, and the other program reads them.

i took care of the cross platform problems by declaring base classes for
semaphores and shared memory with #ifdef constructs for compiling on linux
and windows.

now i have a complete cross platform application framework, implemented in
native C++.

thx you ^^

Interprocess communication: which scenario?

by: Charles Packer | last post by:

I need to do the following simple interprocess communication (IPC) among these processes that are all on the same box: -- A daemon waits for "I'm here" announcements from multiple clients -- One or more clients send an "I'm here" to the daemon upon command via the client's GUI (Each client's GUI is viewed by a different human user) The daemon retransmits "X is here" to all clients when it receives any "I'm here".

interprocess comms in local network

by: guy | last post by:

In the past I've used sockets in C++ to allow apps to communicate with each other over a local network. Is there anything better/more advanced in .NET or should I continue to use sockets and the .NET Socket class under C#? The (mini) project that I'm about to start will receive stream live data (stock market prices) and reformat that data and perform some calculations on it before disseminating it to client applications on the local...

Interprocess communication on multi-user machine

by: Michael Butscher | last post by:

Hi, this is not really Python-specific but I need it for Python. I'm wanting a method for interprocess communication which is OS- independent (sockets would be the normal way to go), but which works if multiple users use the machine at the same time so that one user has no access to the communication of programs of another user. Normally any user could connect to an open socket on a machine

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
