Hello All,
This is my first post so apologies if this is the wrong newsgroup.
I'm designing software for a platform that will sit on a CAN bus. There
will be three separate programs running on the platform, A, B and C.
Program A will handle the CAN communications. It will pass messages
received from the CAN network to programs B and C and transmit their
messages out on the CAN network.
What is the best (fastest) method for transferring messages between the CAN
communications process and the other two processes?
Currently I'm leaning towards named pipes but would like to pass the CAN
messages as structures and not simply as "streams" of data.
Got any suggestions?
Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul! I'm designing software for a platform that will sit on a CAN bus. There
will be three separate programs running on the platform, A, B and C.

received from the CAN network to programs B and C and transmit their
messages out on the CAN network.
What is the best (fastest) method for transferring messages between the CAN
communications process and the other two processes?
I would suggest to use OPC...
It is a standard-interface (other apps also can connect to your
device)... you can simply use a OPC_Toolkit (for example
http://www.softing.com/en/communicat.../cplusplus.htm)
Currently I'm leaning towards named pipes but would like to pass the CAN
messages as structures and not simply as "streams" of data.
If you want a really fast solution you should either cinsidering of
writing a device-driver (which can be connected from different apps) or
you can use memory-mapped-files...
In general you can take a look at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...unications.asp
But as I said: I would use OPC. It is really fast (erarly-bound COM is
fast (IMHO)) and it is a standard interface which can be used by others.

I don't know CAN, but the fastest IPC is shared memory (memory mapped
files). It's just as fast to read/write data in shared memory as it is
in normal memory allocated with malloc or new. Nothing else can even
come close to that speed (sockets, pipes, COM, etc., are much slower).
This is, of course, when both processes reside on the same computer.

As Jochen and Tamas have pointed out there are faster ways to go. But pipes
have a few appealing characteristics
1) they are easy to implement and use with file semantics
2) they are easily securable
3) they are easily impersonable
4) they can be message rather than stream oriented
And if you move the pipe server, you merely change the name of the pipe to
use in the client.

As for COM, I hate it for no better reason than that it exists largely for
the benefit of VB "developers ". <gd&r> Plain vanilla RPC seems to me to be
far more attractive.

Chaps,
Many thanks for the useful advice you've given me. I've got more choices
than I expected.
Jochen,
I'll try to cross-post in future! By the way I think we'll be using the
Softing FG-100 CAN to Ethernet gateway device.
Thanks
Paul

INTRO
The phrase "decimal number" within a programming context is ambiguous. It could
refer to the decimal datatype or the related but separate concept of a generic
decimal number. "Decimal Number" sometimes serves to distinguish Base 10
numbers, eg "15", from Base 2 numbers, Eg "1111". At other times "Decimal
Number" serves to differentiate a number from an integer. For the rest of this
post I shall only use either...

I have a web page that uses an unordered list (<UL>) and the LH (list
header) tag. I know LH is a valid tag because it is clearly defined by
the W3C here: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html3/bulletlists.html
The problem is, when I try to validate the page at W3C, it tells me:
" element "LH" undefined "
My page is 4.01 Transitional, using charset windows-1252.
Any ideas why this won't validate?

I needed a method to determine if a point was on a line segment in 2D. So I
googled for some help and so far I have evaluated two methods.
The first method was only a formula, the second method was a piece of C code
which turned out to be incorrect and incomplete but by modifieing it would
still be usuable.
The first method was this piece of text:

I have two classes, UIHousehold and WIZEditHousehold (both are
winforms).
UIHousehold creates and shows the WIZEditHousehold (WIZEditHousehold
can't be modal, so UIHousehold doesn't know when WIZEditHousehold
closes).
A reference to a buffer within UIHousehold is supplied (passed by REF)
to the constructor of WIZEditHousehold - that constructor saves the
reference to the buffer in a member variable.
