    Oooh, so close. We’ve got the advertisement/discovery and messaging for sure.

    Concretely what it would take to port it to those OS: https://github.com/Flow-IPC/ipc/issues/101

    Given a couple weeks to work on it, this thing would be on macOS no problem. With Windows I personally need to understand its FD-passing and native handle concepts first, but I’m guessing it’d be a similar amount of effort in the end.

  • What are the "best practices" or "better design patterns" for posting message from one thread to others?
    1 project | /r/learnprogramming | 7 Sep 2021
    I'm working on a complex c++ project for my company these days. First, I need to pass 5 different types of messages (and attached data) from Process A to Process B. I use cpp-ipc and it works fine. And in Process B, there is one thread (called thread b) which is responsible for receiving those messages and "posting" them to other threads. I can't determine (and of course, don't know) the good solutions. My current idea is to use 5 concurrent queues for the 5 types of message. When thread b receives a message, it pushes the message to a queue, and other threads take the message from the queue. pseudocode example:
