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?
Nice idea. Unfortunately RPC's ( including Java RMI ) don't scale. Thats why CORBA and J2EE were created. Simple RPC mechanisms like this inevitably end up being extended piece by piece until you have reproduced most of the CORBA functionality. Therefore IMHO I don't think it is a good idea for boost. /ikh
