This basically looks appealing. I have one question though. I jumped through a few hoops so that registration does not need to mention the type - it is auto-generated from the member name. I would be happy to leverage the work of Fusion but sad to lose the correctness guarantee offered by auto-generating the type. Can Fusion offer that as well?
As the types get more complicated the chances of a registration error (i.e. an incorrectly associated type ) move from "possible" to "expected".
Fusion is completely compile-time in how it can assign 'views' to types, but your type registration is independent, hence why making your own macro that handle that and the fusion view adaptation would be best, it would negate the need for your operator>>/<< functions is all it is, would vastly simplify code and reduce chance of errors.
Yes, I can see real benefit. Always preferred to have Boost but didnt want to impose prerequisite on potential users. Perhaps I was wrong.
More speed? Always interested in making software faster but where is it slow?
I also enjoy code examples but have you downloaded the samples solution yet? You are asking for more code beyond that provided in the samples?
I was not asking if it was slow, just asking if you had speed reports and comparisons, through-put tests for network (perhaps in comparison to other libs, Raknet for example, or Erlang too for massage passing tests?), etc...
Ah yes. I spent substantial time on performance testing. Would love to carry out comparison testing. Time and technical resources are the only limiting factors. If you are truly interested in statistics I can send some results to you directly. Reviewing the numbers was both interesting and confusing. One informal performance metric is the number of times a message can be sent between two points; * same thread, same process = 220k/second * different threads, same process = 120k/second * different threads, different process, same PC = 11k/second * different threads, different process, different PC = 1100/second (54Mb wireless)
Cannot try to compile it right now, my main computer is down, and Visual Studio does not work on PocketPC/Arm.
Time for an iPhone? OK it doesn't run there either but just having one would make you feel better. Cheers, Scott
