Re: interprocess communication

Hi all

I want some advice on Inter Process Communication (IPC). I have one
dynamic library(dylib) and one application(app). Actually I am porting
something from Windows so I will write about windows code.

In Application, I create one event object (eventName). Now, I create
one thread and call waitForSingleObject and now it is waiting for
someone to set the event and the  it will come out. In DLL I create
one event object of same name (eventName). Now, whenever I need, set
the event in DLL then in application that thread comes out of wait and
executes the code and again start waiting.

I want to implement similar kind of thing in Mac also. I want to
create one event with same name in both process and application should
notified whenever dylib set the event.

I do not know that I have to do with event or something else. DLL is
standard C++ dynamic library and application is standard C++ tool
(command line utility).

Please suggest me to solve this issue.

Thanks and regards
rksinghal

You can probably use darwin notifications:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Conceptual/MacOSXNotifcationOv/DarwinNotificationConcepts/chapter_4_section_1.html

Or if you prefere an higher level concept, have a look at CoreFoundation notification (using distributed notification center). (see the link above for the different X notifications API)
