platform indipendent Interprocess-Communication

[louis]

Hi,

i am looking for a way to communicate between two processes.

Both processes are Qt-based. I would like to have my Programm to work on Linux and Windows. So the QtDBus-implementation would not work. Also it will take place in a embedded System.
Also i am able to start one process with QProcess and i already found out that i can comunicate from the QProcess to the "main"-process. (readyReadStandardOutput, readAllStandardOutput). Is it possible to write data (or give signal-Slot-handling) from the main process to the qprocess?

Or wouldnt this be a great Feature for future qt version?

regards

@louis
a technique almost every platform supports is sockets.

thank you.

i found the ipc example which use

QLocalServer
#include <qlocalserver.h>
#include <qlocalsocket.h>

i will try my luck with these.
