a while ago (2008 or 09 I believe?), I was using Tango's Process
object to execute programs on a remote agent, and forwarding all the
resulting data back over the network. On Linux, I used select to read
data as it arrived. On Windows, I think I had to spawn off a separate
thread to wait for data/child processes.
More coming back to me now -- Windows pipes actually suck quite a bit.
You can't use the normal mechanisms to wait for data on them.
I also needed to spawn threads so I could combine the event-driven wait
for socket data from the remote instance with the data from the pipes.
I seem to remember opening a socket to my own process in order to do
this.
There is async read/write on pipes.
Though no wait on pipes does suck.
Hm... I noted in the docs that async read/write is not supported:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365141(v=vs.85).aspx
"Asynchronous (overlapped) read and write operations are not supported by
anonymous pipes. This means that you cannot use the ReadFileEx and
WriteFileEx functions with anonymous pipes. In addition, the lpOverlapped
parameter of ReadFile and WriteFile is ignored when these functions are
used with anonymous pipes."
