bRunThread is defined as a BOOL FALSE until told otherwise to terminate. testconsumer conveniently tries to consume less than 4096 bytes, which is apparently the default buffer size of Windows anonymous pipes. Also, the other callback is defined, but at the moment I am not having problems with it and would simply like to focus on this aspect right now. Please note I am using FindWindow() because the HWND is not defined in the global scope of this file. This is the class member which creates the processes. Cleanup the useless handles if(!CloseHandle(pi.hThread) || !CloseHandle(pi.hProcess)) If(outStd.hThreadRd = NULL || outStd.hThreadWr = NULL) throw "Error creating thread!" OutStd.hThreadWr = CreateThread(NULL,0,Arc_writePipe,(LPVOID)outStd.hInWrite,0,&outStd.threadIdWr) OutStd.hThreadRd = CreateThread(NULL,0,Arc_readPipe,(LPVOID)outStd.hOutRead,0,&outStd.threadIdRd) If(!CreateProcess(NULL,programName,NULL,NULL,TRUE,0,NULL,NULL,&si,&pi)) Anonymous pipes and Named pipes.Anonymous pipes as name suggest do not have a name and can be used to communicate between threads or two related processes i.e. Si.dwFlags = STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW|STARTF_USESTDHANDLES Pipes are a mechanism for inter process communication in windows.Pipes come in two varieties viz. Anonymous pipes require less overhead than named pipes, but offer limited services. ZeroMemory(&pi, sizeof(PROCESS_INFORMATION)) There are two types of pipes: anonymous pipes and named pipes. Transport.reset(new TBufferedTransport(pipe)) īoost::shared_ptr socket(new TSocket(pipename)) Server.reset(new TThreadPoolServer(processor, transport, tfactory, pfactory, threadManager)) īoost::shared_ptr pipe(new TPipe(pipename)) ThreadManager->threadFactory(threadFactory) If(NumThreads threadManager = ThreadManager::newSimpleThreadManager(NumThreads) īoost::shared_ptr threadFactory = boost::shared_ptr(new PlatformThreadFactory()) -īoost::shared_ptr transport(new TPipeServer(pipename, 1024, NumThreads)) //Named pipeīoost::shared_ptr transport(new TServerSocket(pipename)) īoost::shared_ptr handler(new MyHandler()) īoost::shared_ptr processor(new MyProcessor(handler)) īoost::shared_ptr tfactory(new TBufferedTransportFactory()) īoost::shared_ptr pfactory(new TBinaryProtocolFactory()) Variables such as 'pipename' are passed in to the functions. C using (var pipeRead new AnonymousPipeServerStream(PipeDirection.In, HandleInheritability. When you instantiate an AnonymousPipeServerStream, you can specify the pipe direction (in or out).
Here are some code snippet examples from functions we've built. Anonymous pipes are unidirectional, so if you need bidirectional communication, you will need two pipes. The client instantiates TPipe transport for connection to the server. The server of course uses TPipeServer to set up the server side then instantiates TPipe for communications. On Microsoft Windows, reads and writes to anonymous pipes are always blocking. The TPipe and TPipeServer classes are generally modeled after TSocket and TSocketServer. In computer science, an anonymous pipe is a simplex FIFO communication. It has not been hammered by automated tests and I welcome stress testing to wring out any bugs.
To enable us to use the full feature set of pipes, well move away from Anonymous Pipes and. We've been using this code on Windows & OSX for 6 months and I'm fairly confident in it. The issues related to the Windows name pipe programming in. Anonymous Pipes - Python Programming On Win32 This typically makes anonymous pipes unsuitable for interprocess communication between unrelated processes (for example, between a client and a server.
The new classes do not affect *NIX builds. The function win32pipe.CreatePipe() creates an anonymous pipe and returns two handles one for reading from the pipe, and one for writing How to create an anonymous pipe that gives access to 17.3.1.
This patch adds named & anonymous pipe transport for Windows.
