I'm not planning on implementing the RPC spec myself as it's not a good fit for what I'm doing with capnp.

As a workaround I usually have a union for request/response and switch on them when sending/receiving a message. I then wrap it in functions so it looks like RPC.

Something like this:

//client side
void add(int a, int b)
{
	sendPacket((ref Packet.Builder packet) {
		packet.initRequest().setAdd(a, b);
	});
}

//server side
switch(request.which())
{
	case Packet.Request.Which.Add:
	{
		sendPacket((ref Packet.Builder packet) {
			packet.initResponse().setSum(packet.request.a + packet.request.b);
		});
	}
}
