broker reads a configuration file for a given AppInterface, eg:
=== BEGIN FILE ===
service=VFS
[chmod]
ret=INT32
arg1=STRING,pathname
arg2=UINT32,mode
=== END FILE ===
which is then translated into a C header file, eg:
=== BEGIN FILE ===
/* $Id$ */
#ifndef VFS_H
# define VFS_H
# include <stdint.h>
# include <System.h>
/* types */
typedef Buffer * BUFFER;
typedef int32_t INT32;
typedef uint32_t UINT32;
typedef String * STRING;
/* functions */
INT32 VFS_chmod(STRING pathname, UINT32 mode);
#endif /* !VFS_H */
=== END FILE ===
This service definition file and corresponding header may then be committed
along the relevant source code.
It would also be helpful to:
- add scripting possibilities to configure (to regenerate the headers
accordingly)
- place this code directly inside AppInterface's class
- implement dynamic port assignment: it currently has to be explicitly specified
in the interface file
