Interprocess communication on windows

Question

I have a TCL script running on windows. I need to communicate to a old vc++ 6 app running in a different process. I need to have 2 way communication. In Linux I would use dbus, but what IPC strategy should I use for windows?

Answer 1

Boost.interprocess has various ways such as shared-memory and message passing for C++. You could always start there and see what is compatible with your script.

Answer 2

How about named pipes ?
