Anonymous Pipe

  • Artikel

This automated test verifies the functionality of anonymous pipes. It creates several pipe handles and uses multiple threads to read and write variable-size buffers via these anonymous pipes.

The test repeats this verification multiple times while varying the number of pipe handles and the number of threads. Additionally, this test creates a child instance of itself and provides an anonymous pipe handle to it. It then verifies that the anonymous pipe works with handle inheritance.
