From: Jake on 6 Jan 2010 00:12 I have a process which provides some functions. I need to call these functions from a different process. Both processes will always be on the same box. All the code will be in C/C++. I am planning to use pipes with proxying & marshaling to do this. I am confused as to how to make a decision on whether to use named or anonymous pipes for this? What are the advantages/disavantages for either? This needs to be very lightweight. I am not planning to use SOAP or some other RPC mechanism for this. So I was also wondering if there already are any free lightweight free libraries available to do all this so that I don't need to roll my own.
