-> Using named pipes has been problematic because it returns errors when launching multiple processes aggressively: Error 231 - All Pipes are Busy. This does not happen with anonymous pipes and I think it has some relationship with the guid code. By the way, I think a uuid library is too much to create a unique identifier to be shared with the child a simple atomic count would to the job in my opinion. That would reduce Boost.Process dependencies.
An atomic count might not be sufficient as it would be unique only per process. As I used Boost.Uuid only for convenience though I'll replace it with an atomic count plus a random number to drop the dependency. Hi, I have implemented a locally unique identifier that can be used interprocess (see. http://www.nabble.com/Request-interest-on-a-Locally-Unique-Identifier-librar...) Do you think that something like that could be useful for your needs? Best, Vicente
