But i would say classic IPC is everything but d-bus.
Well it's not old enough to be classic yet. :-)
But I'm curious, what do you dislike about using it for IPC? (I'm
just learning how to use it.)
Foremost Performance.
D-Bus is a abused unix domain socket interface for broadcasts and multicast.
IPC is usually somethig the OS provides you at a basic level. Signals,
semaphores and of course shared memory...
It really depends on what do you want. You would not use d-bus for
syncronizing threads. But you would use d-bus for signalling other
programs that any event has occurred. Or that you need some things done
by other daemons.
