I'm working on a large software system that uses a lot of IPC, mainly named pipes. It's going to run on Solaris. I was devleoping it there, but the development machine is resource starved, so after a *very* short porting job, I am hiding out in my PC, resource fat, developing away. (Yay for Linux!).
This is a non-technical reason, of course, but it's pretty serious for *me*. We need to try to keep up with newer OS "features", such as those in Solaris, so we can continue to be an easy alternative for those who are looking for cheaper places to work on code. OTOH, we also should provide the same welcome to older OS-based developers, too.
Maybe this should be a kernel config option.
BTW: Message queues seem to be broken lately. It may be something I did, but I am beginning to suspect the kernel. I'll test with old kernels and see if that fixes it. If it does, I'll post to the list.
