Title: Concurrently using FT_WritePipe and FT_ReadPipe within their own threads
Post by: Coderitter GmbH on June 26, 2023, 02:42:39 PM

1. Is it allowed to have 2 threads, one writing with synchronous FT_WritePipe and the other reading with synchronous FT_ReadPipe?

2. Will synchronous FT_WritePipe in one thread be blocked by synchronous FT_ReadPipe in the other thread and vice verca?

3. Is it allowed to have 2 threads, one writing with asynchronous FT_WritePipe and the other reading with asynchronous FT_ReadPipe?

> 1. Is it allowed to have 2 threads, one writing with synchronous FT_WritePipe and the other reading with synchronous FT_ReadPipe?
[Ans] Yes. In fact, write and read should have independent threads.

[Ans] It is recommended to have independent threads for read and write.
