Hi Phil: You make a lot of points about some uncertainties in what I propose to do. And I do agree there are such uncertainties. So this is definitely a "show them the code" moment. At worst, I will strip it all out again because it will turn out to be complex and slow. But it could be

Hi Alan That seems reasonable. I'm not sure what the benefits are though. Should the new way be quicker? In terms of the overall complexity here are some of the things I found while setting up the current system that each made the system more complex than I initially envisaged. I imagine you will

[Plplot-devel] Recent progress with wxwidgets IPC

2017-02-04 Thread Alan W. Irwin
Hi Phil: You have probably noticed my recent push of commit 3da0c90. That commit contains my recent (fairly small amount of) wxwidgets IPC code progress. The unnamed semaphores method requires the shared memory buffer be a struct (so that the buffer contains room for the required semaphores as
