IPC between 32 bit and 64 bit boost processes

My platform is Visual Studio 2012 and I need to implement IPC between 32 bit and 64 bit processes. I have source code for all binaries but for several reasons one processes should remain 32 bit. I have looked into boost manual and it seems that Boost.Interprocess has everything I need - STL like structures and synchronization object. But couldn't find in docs anything about IPC between 32 bit and 64 bit processes.

Thank you.

Solution

  • Some IPC methods between 32 and 64 bit processes on Windows don't work, but sockets should work since they aren't dependent on the bitness of the connection.
