| Win32 version of shared mutexes and shared conditions are based on "spin and wait" |
| atomic instructions. This leads to poor performance and does not manage any issues |
| like priority inversions. We would need very serious help from threading experts on |
| this. And I'm not sure that this can be achieved in user-level software. Posix based |
| implementations use PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED attribute to place mutexes in shared memory, |
| so there are no such problems. I'm not aware of any implementation that simulates |
| PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED attribute for Win32. We should be able to construct these |
| primitives in memory mapped files, so that we can get filesystem persistence just like |
| with POSIX primitives. |

| Currently Interprocess only allows <span class="bold"><strong>char</strong></span> based names for basic named |

| (mapped files, for example). |
| In the future Interprocess should try to present a portable narrow/wide char interface. |
| To do this, it would be useful to have a boost wstring <-> string conversion |
| utilities to translate resource names (escaping needed characters |
| that can conflict with OS names) in a portable way. It would be interesting also |
| the use of <span class="bold"><strong>boost::filesystem</strong></span> paths to avoid operating system specific issues. |

| </p> |
| <p> |
| C++ needs more complex mechanisms and it would be nice to have a stream and |
| datagram oriented PF_UNIX-like mechanism in C++. And for very fast inter-process |
| remote calls Solaris doors is an interesting alternative to implement for C++. |
| But the work to implement PF_UNIX-like sockets and doors would be huge |
