I'll have a look, thanks. Another immediate question is whether
there's any portable serialization framework already at reach for LyX
(i.e., in terms of dependencies -- e.g., I could identify
boost::serialize::archive & related). That may be useful to serialize
FuncRequest objects, as well as other types of messages that may be
worth to be transmitted through the socket(s).
IIRC, quite some time ago, Lars wanted to use this boost serialiser,
try to look in the archives for "serialize any", or something.
But, instead of that, I would use Json format for the LFUN
serialisation/deserialisation and the packet transmission. We can use
libjson (quite good and simple solution) or QJSon if we want more Qt
integration. Another option would be to convert the LFUNs to Google
protobuf (http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/). We really need to
formalize the LFUN format anyway because it is a real mess.
