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.

You are describing a condition variable, which is a simplified case of a counting semaphore. Google either of these.
