A final thought (in case this patch will also be picked):
Why not, in case of read_pipe() and worker_thread() just cast
read() and write() to int? Both get counts of sizeof(int) and
it would clearly show: we know the result fits into an int.
In case of read_pipe() that would mean to just change one line in
contrast to:
