I need to provide asynchronous services inside a DLL (e.g. some functions execute in the background and post a completion event to the owner). &nbsp;Requests from the application should be queued to shared memory and executed by the DLL FIFO.<br />
<br />
I realize I can do this using memory-mapped files and a &quot;shared memory manager&quot; should handle the requests and forward them to the DLL service. &nbsp;Due to my inexperience with such architectures, I only have a vague idea on a possible implementation.<br />
<br />
Anyone out there who did a similar project? Books (Windows or MFC), links, and other references are welcome!<br />
<br />
P.S. Specifically, I am doing a WOSA/XFS service provider.<br />

Asynchronous Services

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
