RPX

Remote process call framework using libmsgpack (serialization based on https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-c/tree/cpp-3.3.0)

Usage

Class needs to inherit rpx::RemoteObject

class TestObject : public rpx::RemoteObject {
};

To provide functions to the framework

registerRemote("testfunction", &TestObject::testfunction);

To call remote functions

float testfunction(float f, float ff)
{
    auto [ret, success] = callRemote<float>(__FUNCTION__, 0.f, f, ff);
    return ret;
}

Call syntax

Arg	Desc
RETURNTYPE	Type of return value
FUNCTIONNAME	Name of the function as string (__FUNCTION__ macro possible)
DEFAULTRETURN	Default return value
ARGS...	Arguments for function call

auto [ret, success] = callRemote<RETURNTYPE>(FUNCTIONNAME, DEFAULTRETURN, ARGS...)

void function

Arg	Desc
FUNCTIONNAME	Name of the function
ARGS...	Arguments for function call

bool success = callRemote<void>(FUNCTIONNAME, ARGS...)

Connection

You can use library provided TCP server and client or use the ICommunication interface to implement your own connection.

TCP client server

rpx::communication::TCPServer server;
server.listen(12345);
rpx::RemoteManager::addCommunication(&server);

rpx::communication::TCPClient client;
client.connect("127.0.0.1.", 12345);
rpx::RemoteManager::addCommunication(&client);
