hi folks, i really dont know whether this is the right place to ask this question. may be, i should have gone to some forum on system programming. anyways, i was working on something where two processes need to communicate thru 2 pipes. say process p1 and p2 communicating thru pip1 and pip2. p1 uses pip1 for writing and p2 for reading. vice versa for pip2. i need to communicate large amount of info btw the two procs. after sometime the two processes seem to deadlock.quite understandably p1 having written to the pip1 to capacity waiting for p2 to drain out pip1 while p2 is already waiting having written to the pip2 waiting for p1. is there anyway to prevent such a deadlock or shud i resort to some other means of ipc. any plumbers? :) thanx and regards sumit ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
