Windows named pipe

[gal....@cybereason.com]

Hi All,

I know there was a request for Windows named pipe in the past and I wonder what is the status of it ? does the comunity is working to support it ? or is there any alternatives which is already implemented ?

I want to use gRPC (c++ implementation) for communication between processes on the same system, on unix based systems there is an implementation of Unix Domain Sockets in the gRPC core, but there is no equivalent in Windows, and I cannot use tcp socket  implementation for security reasons.

I will be happy for answers to this issue.

Thanks.

Gal.

Currently there's no plan to add windows named pipe support for gRPC C++, but contributions are welcome.
