Embedded Programming with Modern C++ Cookbook

How to do it...

In this recipe, we will create a sample application that creates two processes. One process generates data while another reads the data and prints it to the console:

1. In your working directory (~/test), create a subdirectory called ipc1.
2. Use your favorite text editor to create an ipc1.cpp file in the ipc1 subdirectory.
3. We are going to define two templated classes to organize our data exchange. The first class, Writer, is used to write data into a file. Let's put its definition in the ipc1.cpp file:

#include <fstream>#include <iostream>#include <thread>#include <vector>#include <unistd.h>std::string kSharedFile = "/tmp/test.bin";template<class T>class Writer {  private:    std::ofstream out;  public: Writer(std::string& name): ...
