C++ How to implement interprocess socket communication? -

i setup interprocess communication using sockets between server , several client processes using c++. server , client processes running on on same windows 7 computer. intention vector of data held server , transmitted each client. time-to-time vector held server extended (pushback()) further data elements , data need transmitted each client. can provide links examples of how this, relevant reference materials or simple toy code example?

edit: after further investigation have found winsock suitable. there plenty of examples revealed google search on how setup winsock server & client arrangement. there less information on how pass data through sockets. can expand on how synchronize vector between server & clients through socket communication? each client need indicate element index has been passed , server serve elements client did not have.

if want control protocol above tcp/udp layer, try libevent or boost.asio. if more interested in being able pass messages, @ zeromq or amqp.

server example using zeromq

#include <iostream> #include <zmq.hpp>  int main(int argc, const char* argv[]) {     // create zeromq network context using 1 thread     zmq::context_t ctx(1);      // 'upstream' i.e. receiver     zmq::socket_t sock(ctx, zmq_upstream);      sock.connect("tcp://localhost:12345");      zmq::message_t msg;     while (sock.recv(&msg)) {         std::cout << "rx: " << (const char*)msg.data() << std::endl;     } }
