Detailed Description

IPC protocol interface for calling IPC methods over sockets.

There may be different implementations of this interface for different IPC protocols (e.g. Cap'n Proto, gRPC, JSON-RPC, or custom protocols).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual ipc::Protocol::~Protocol ( )

virtualdefault

virtual void ipc::Protocol::addCleanup	(	std::type_index	type,
		void *	iface,
		std::function< void()>	cleanup
	)

pure virtual

Add cleanup callback to interface that will run when the interface is deleted.

virtual std::unique_ptr<interfaces::Init> ipc::Protocol::connect	(	int	fd,
		const char *	exe_name
	)

pure virtual

Return Init interface that forwards requests over given socket descriptor.

Socket communication is handled on a background thread.

virtual Context& ipc::Protocol::context ( )

pure virtual

Context accessor.

virtual void ipc::Protocol::serve	(	int	fd,
		const char *	exe_name,
		interfaces::Init &	init
	)

pure virtual

Handle requests on provided socket descriptor, forwarding them to the provided Init interface.

Socket communication is handled on the current thread, and this call blocks until the socket is closed.
