A high-performance C++17 inter-process communication library using shared memory, supporting Linux, Windows, and FreeBSD. It provides lock-free channels and routes for broadcasting messages between processes with no external dependencies beyond the STL.

Use cases

• send messages between processes using shared memory
• build a high-performance pub-sub channel in C++
• replace sockets with faster local IPC
• broadcast data from one process to many readers
• communicate between C++ processes on Linux and Windows

When to choose

• you need low-latency, high-throughput local IPC in C++
• you want a dependency-free, header-light library installable via vcpkg
• you need cross-platform shared-memory messaging (Linux/Windows/FreeBSD)

When to avoid

• you need network or cross-machine communication
• you need more than 32 receivers per channel
• your project targets C++ standards older than C++17
