A powerful tool for debugging and visualizing Inter-Process Communication (IPC) mechanisms. This application provides a graphical interface for monitoring and debugging pipes, message queues, shared memory, and detecting potential deadlocks in your applications.

• Pipe Debugging: Monitor and debug pipe communications between processes
• Message Queue Debugging: Track message queue operations and contents
• Shared Memory Debugging: Visualize shared memory segments and their usage
• Deadlock Detection: Identify potential deadlocks in your application
• Graphical User Interface: User-friendly interface for monitoring and debugging
• Real-time Visualization: Live updates of IPC operations and states

• Python 3.x
• NetworkX 2.8.8 (for graph visualization)

1. Clone the repository:

git clone <repository-url>
cd ipc-debugger

2. Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the application using:

python main.py

The application will launch with a graphical interface where you can:

• Monitor IPC operations in real-time
• Debug pipe communications
• Track message queue operations
• Visualize shared memory usage
• Detect potential deadlocks

The project includes several utility scripts:

• check_size.sh: Check project size and dependencies
• cleanup.sh: Clean temporary files and caches
• verify_structure.sh: Verify project structure integrity
