This may be a typo, but yet it is brilliant somehow, I have always regarded pthreads as some evil entity laughing maliciously as some hapless programmer stumbles into it's wake...
If only I had a dollar for every sleep() I have seen to try to push that pesky race condition further into the sunset, and the amount of times I have seen assumptions being made about thread startup time and executions.
Or the nested locks, Oh God, the nested locks!
But back to pipelines in C++, surely the UNIX way would be to write some kind of general program which you could tell the system to take the output of one program and "pipe" it into another. I would call it:
/bin/M*A*S*H
