the approach i'm using is multi-threading and shared memory: in critical

them into mutexes if necessary).
in fact i'm a bit off topic since i don't use multiple processes; for
that i can confirm that poll(2) is the most efficient and portable
method i found.
just my 2 pesetas :)

my solution so far is assuming that boolean is
atomical.
all multi threaded handling i wrote is based on this assumption: i use
it in pipe and linklist classes, but semaphores could also be there.
i found no probems and good speed so far
... and life is boring without risks :))
How does that help with IPC? I thought this thread was about a realtime
safe IPC mechanism? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
