Re: openbsd rpc/xdr
Sorry, but i found that code very ugly. This is just a personal feeling and i cannot explain why!! do i seem crazy, probably i am. I believe the code i saw was very poor design. But that's a personal taste only and should not be under jugdment. 0) Functions return 1 for success and 0 for failure (i don't like that); 1) too many function call between the caller and the real funcionality; 2) function names are to big. Do you have any other suggestions where i could download alternatives for rpc? thanks.

0) Functions return 1 for success and 0 for failure (i don't like that); Surely thats too trivial to hold a preference to? Most languages do it this way though.
Re: openbsd rpc/xdr
I did not meant alternatives to RPC approach? i mean alternatives to the standard implementation code of rpc. I don't feel like considering (as you self said) garbage like corba, rx, rxml-rpc I am considering rpc/xdr but a different code implementation. Thanks for your reply.

I suggest you read a book like the O'Reilly kangaroo book, Power programming with RPC. Sun Microsystems gave away the rpc code, so I'd guess most implementations are based on their code. -- stephen

openbsd rpc/xdr
Hey folks, i am doing efforts in order to learn about xdr/rpc. So, i decided to read some code in src/lib/libc/rpc. I found it to be a little heavy, cause there too many function invocation overhead between the caller and the real function that do the job. So, i wonder if anybody knows an alternative implementation for xdr/rpc? Just like there are for stdio functionalities. Of course, my requirement is that it runs on our OS of choice. Thanks a lot.
