Re: About Process Communication Implementation in Windows.

Hello

In the book< Programming Application for miscrosoft windows>

Which book is this? You you have a link?

These mechanisms[note:Process communication] include RPC, COM, OLE,
DDE, window messages (especially WM_COPYDATA), the clipboard,
mailslots, pipes, sockets, and so on. In Windows, the lowest-level
mechanism for sharing data on a single machine is the memory-mapped
file. That's right, all of the mechanisms I mention ultimately use
memory-mapped files to do their dirty work if all the processes
communicating are on the same machine.

Many of them (e.g. COM, OLE) are based on RPC. I don't know if local RPC is
implemented with memory mapped files.

WM_COPYDATA, DDE, (local) pipes and the Clipboard ist AFAIK implemented by
m. m. f..

But sockets are a different technology (Networking Stack).
