i have a doubt in C++. lets asume A.exe is running and it has two functions A() and B(). i have another program B.exe, which needs to call some functions say A() in A.exe (which is already running).
how can we achieve this, what concept we need to use??
if u have some sample code, or tutorial or forums link, give me those reference.
You can place the A function in the dll and use it in both applications
Or you can build an A application as COM-server and B as COM client (on Windows)
All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.
– David J. Wheeler
Or just put A() in it's own library (DLL or LIB), and then link to it from both applications.
Or if A() is small, simply copy and paste the source code.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Or if you mean you want your second program to interact with an object instance in your first program, you'll need to define some kind of interface.
This could be as simple as a file which is periodically checked by the first application or as complicated as a pipe or tcp/ip communication. What you use would largely be dependent on the relative program locations.
