Interprocess Communication Server 1.07

RIPC is library providing interprocess synchronization and communication capabilities for processes running at different network nodes. RIPC provides wide set of standard primitives: semaphore, event, FIFO queue, barrier, shared memory, shared and exclusive locks.
Structure of RIPC package
RIPC package consists of two libraries:
ripcclient.lib
Provides stubs of RIPC primitives sending requests to the server
ripcserver.lib
Server implementation of RIPC primitives
RIPC supports local and remote sessions. Remote sessions created by RIPCClientFactory class establish connection with the server through TCP/IP stream socket. Server process should be started before clients. In this case primitives at local computer servers as stubs and redirect requests to the server. This mode is useful to provide synchronization and communication between several processes at the same or different computers.
Local sessions are created by RIPCServerFactory class. Them are useful to provide synchronization of threads within the same process (if you want to use more sophisticated synchronization primitives than standard synchronization facilities provided by OS). The single local session can be shared by all threads. No server process should be started in this case.
Quick start
Include files needed for use of RIPC package are located in inc directory. Libraries are located in lib directory. Version of RIPC for windows is provided with binaries of these librarier and server built by Visual C++ comiler. At all other system you will have to build these libraries yourself. Change directory to src and exceute make (for Visual C++ RIPC provides make.bat file which invokes MS nmake utility for makefile.mvc). By default static version of librarier are built. To produce dynamically linked librariers, edit makefile and assign set GENERATE_DLL=1. In case of using DLL libraries do not forget to include them in PATH (at Windows) or in LD_LIBRARY_PATH (at Unix).
