I have two Windows Visual C++ programs that need fast inter-process communication. One is limited to 64-bit because it depends on 8 gigs of ram, and the other is limited to 32-bit because it depends on a proprietary 32-bit .dll
I need to send basically two integers from the 64-bit application to the 32-bit, and update a few times per second. Purely one-way communication.
Would opening the windows clipboard for writing in one process and reading in another work? What about just a simple file? Or would I run into file locking errors? Any better suggestions? I don't want to go and learn some new library or api unless it's absolutely necessary. Thoughts?
