/*
	An IPC channel is used for synchronous communication between two processes.
	Sending two messages in succession from one end is not allowed; messages
	must alternate back and forth.

	IPCChannelShared is situated in shared memory and is used by both ends of
	the channel.

	There are currently 3 implementations for synchronisation:
	* win32: uses win32 semaphore
	* linux: uses futex, and does busy waiting if on x86/x86_64
	* other posix: uses posix mutex and condition variable
