hmm while i see the point of this... it's convenient. it's a bit simple, but then again a more complex queue with N messages on the pipe can be implemented co-operatively with the thread suspending itself once N items are in the queue. when they are handled in the pipe handler the main loop decrements queue count and unsuspends thread (cond_wait in pthreads is good for this). what i'm wondering is.. if this is your intended behavior just with a limited subset of 1 item in the queue? if so maybe this is better done as an N item queue with proper infrastructure of suspend/resume of the thread? > hey, > > The attached patch add the method ecore_pipe_read() to ecore. > > During the creation of the Ecore_Pipe the handler can be null.
