Support intra-process communication between Clients and Services #1847

mauropasse · 2021-12-16T21:37:45Z

These changes extend the intra-process capabilities to support intra-process client/services communication, so no need to go through the DDS when sending client requests / services responses, when they belong to the same process.

Missing: Add unit tests.
Design: https://github.com/mauropasse/design/blob/mauro/gh-pages-ipc-clients-services/articles/intraprocess_communication.md

this should probably be protected (and also the using definition above)

why not std::move as in the other calls above?

Not moving here because needs to be valid for later use in line 718

to match subscriptions implementation, we should have that client_intra_process_ is a protected member in client_base.hpp.
Its type will be ClientIntraProcessBase and the using definition can be moved to the create_intra_process_client

The same applies to servers.

IntraProcessSetting is an enum, we can avoid passing that as a reference as it's likely to be a pessimization (and may cause confusion between the enum value and the memory address)

do we really need to throw here?
