This is the repo for an ISP I'm doing on building a basic cross-platform named-pipe implementation. One of the design goals is that it eventually be included in the Boost.Interprocess library.
Ideas and suggestions (and pull requests!) welcome!
Thanks for their help in refining the interface to: Rob Stewart and Edward Diener.
Ok, so I've been convinced by Niall Douglas, and John Vernarchick from the mailing list that an ASIO implementation is actually the appropriate way to go. However, since I only have a couple more days to work on my independent study, I'm going to continue with the raw implementation for now. I'm going to treat this as research though, and a generally good learning experience, but the actual code for a cross-platform named pipe will eventually be based on ASIO code and be compatible with inclusion in the Boost.ASIO library.
