So, I decided to attempt to use named pipes for IPC with an IDA plugin I'm writing. I wrote a test application that started a named pipe server, received data, processed it, and all was fine. However, when I pasted the code into my IDA plugin project, I found that ConnectNamedPipe() would just block and never return. Has anyone else had this problem? Would using a global mutex + shared memory system be superior to this?

Thanks!
