Hi Mark,
We haven't specifically tested the ipc layer as a method to communicate
between 64 & 32-bit processes on OS X.
At it's core the IPC layer just consists of a pipe to which we read & write
binary data, therefore if the binary representation of the data types that
you want to push over the ipc channel are compatible between both processes,
you *should* be fine.
I don't know what your use case is, but one concern I would have is passing
file descriptors back and forth, while this should work it's untested.
Best regards,
Jeremy
