In a program I am developing (Linux), I need very simple text-based IPC. It would be very easy to use a standard input/output pipe for this. Can I trust that messages sent to a process' stdin cannot be read by anyone? Also, can I trust that if I kept the pipe to its stdout, only I can read what it outputs? I just want to make sure there'...

A prof once told us in class that Windows, Linux, OS X and UNIX scale on threads and not processes, so threads would likely benefit your application even on a single processor because your application would be getting more time on the CPU. I tried with the following code on my machine (which only has one CPU). #include <stdio.h> #inclu...
I want to create a process control application. Events update the database and that should be reflected on the GUI. Although I personally prefer Linux, the hard fact it that 100% of the potential customers I can imagine run Windows. Ok, for Windows I am comfortable with C++ Builder. I suppose I could switch to NetBeans and use Java j...
