Hi all,
I've searched this list a bit and found a few mentions of rpc's (Remote Procedure Call), but nothing concrete.
I've written a library for doing portable C++ RPC's, which can be downloaded at

Is there any interest in Boost for something like this, and if so in what directions do you all think it should be developed?
I just looked briefly, and I am intrigued by the possibility that this functionality could be integrated with the (unofficial) Boost Interfaces library. http://www.kangaroologic.com/interfaces/ On my todo list is runtime reflection for interfaces, which I've been thinking might eventually form part of an RPC mechanism, together with Boost.Serialization. See http://tinyurl.com/6z55h You're interface definitions look a lot like Boost IDL definitions: http://www.kangaroologic.com/interfaces/libs/interfaces/doc/index.html?path=... What kind of code needs to be generated by the macros to support your framework? Jonathan
