Wrapper Class for Win32 Shared Memory? (interprocess-communication)

Question

Hi, what wrapper class can you recommend for IPC on Win32? I have tried XQueue, I found it slightly clunky, and would like to hear what else is out there. Building something on InterlockedPopEntrySList() seems nice but that requires server 2003.

Thanks, Adam

Answer 1

Check out Boost's interprocess library. It has all the building blocks you need to create a very clean IPC implementation via shared memory.

Answer 2

I'd recommend Qt4 (or you could check the source) : http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qsharedmemory.html

Answer 3

I'd recommend Boost Interprocess, however you might prefer a more light weight version published here (win32 only).
