But as I understand it these will not automatically grow a queue to any arbitrary length.


Your queue is as good and fast as you request it, pipe or otherwise.


And a 2003 Dr. Dobbs article on how to handle named pipes correctly, even though it seems so "simple":

OK so the Unix/Linux people say that it is well know that MS named pipes are borked, yet, they have never had any problem with Unix/Linux name pipes.


You didn't go a google. did you? Figures you would ignore it.

But even then, I can understand why the success. Unix is not traditionally known to work with threads, and the piping has permanent storage - your DISK - making it easy to allow for easy recovery. Simple.
