And how to do it in Linux? You should be able to use the Posix Standard functions pipe (for creating unnamed pipes) and mkfifo (for creating named pipes) on both Linux and Windows. On Linux, you can create a named pipe using the command fifo from the command line. I don't know of such a command on Windows, but wouldn't be surprised if it existed. To be able to use a (unnamed) pipe to communicate between two processes, you will have to use fork(); this will restrict your possibilities of using class type objects a lot, I think. A named pipe is used much like a file.
