Simple Async IPC

Basic multi-platform implementation for IPC Interface, using different data transports:

• TCP Network Sockets for local and remote request-reply
• UDP Network Sockets for local and remote client-server and publisher-subscriber
• Shared Memory for only local communication

Usage

On a terminal, get the GitHub code repository with:

$ git clone https://github.com/EESC-MKGroup/Simple-Async-IPC [<my_project_folder>]

This implementation depends on IPC Interface project, which is added as git submodules.

To add those repositories to your sources, navigate to the root project folder and clone them with:

$ cd <my_project_folder>
$ git submodule update --init

With dependencies set, you can now build the library to a separate build directory with CMake:

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake [-DIP_NETWORK_LEGACY=true] .. 
$ make

For building it manually e.g. with GCC in a system without CMake available, the following shell command (from project directory) would be required:

$ gcc ipc.c ipc_base_ip.c ipc_base_shm.c -I. -Iinterface -shared -fPIC -o libasyncipc.{so,dll}
