Windows没有message queue累世的IPC内核对象，使得在在处理IPC时少了一种传递消息的手段。
利用Windows的Naming Object可以实现一套简单的Inter-Thread消息队列。这里并不使用socket，因为一旦使用socket，就得负责port管理，很麻烦，另外在对外接口上也很难和vxworks等msgq接口保持一致。所以后来干脆把接口定义成了类vxworks接口。
偶然间看了一眼云风的http://blog.codingnow.com/中关于windows进程间内存共享的blog，决定将其改成同时支持Inter-Thread和Inter-Process Message Queue的有名对象。
目前接口定义如下, 可下载包见 tinymq-binary-0.1.zip 以及测试 demo-0.1.zip

DESCRIPTION
This module implements the functions for a message queue. The message queue
manipulation functions in this file are similar with the Wind River VxWorks
kernel message queue interfaces.
The memory architecture for a message queue:
---------------- -----------------------------------------------------------
| local memory |-->| shared memory |
---------------- -----------------------------------------------------------
^ ^
| |
---------------- -----------------------------------------------------------
| MSG_Q | | MSG_SM | MSG_NODE list | message queue data |
---------------- -----------------------------------------------------------
^ ^
| |
--------------------------------------------- |
| MSG_NODE1 | MSG_NODE2 | ... | MSG_NODE(N) | |
--------------------------------------------- |
|
---------------------------------
| data1 | data2 | ... | data(N) |
---------------------------------
Each message queue in memory can be divided into two parts, local memory and
shared memory, but these two parts are not closed by. The local memory can be
accessed in an process, also can be accessed between threads in the process.
The shared memory can be accessed between threads in a process if the message
queue name is NULL; or can be accessed between processes if the message queue
name is not NULL. There is one data structure MSG_Q in local memory; three data
structures -- MSG_SM, MSG_NODE list and message queue data in shared memory.
The structure MSG_Q saves the kernel objects handlers and the shared memory
address; MSG_SM saves the message queue attributes; MSG_NODE list saves all the
nodes for the message queue, and each node saves all attribute of each message;
the message queue data area saves all the data for all the message. All the
structures defined below.
