关于RPC的文章很多,但是系统讲解的很少。下面我将写一个系列报道。用代码和论述来把rpc来讲讲清楚。
这篇就是开始第一篇了。
由于工作比较忙。我们抽出一个星期的时间,有时间会写一点。把这个系列写完。所以,有可能每个系列都比较短些。
从最基本的讲起,让大家彻底明白RPC.
好了废话不多说了。正是开始。
首先,你要用RPC,必须先搞清楚什么是IDL.
Rpc是什么?

IDL是什么?

下来,举个例子。怎么样把一个标准程序改成用IDL语言写的程序。
这是一个标准程序。
// File Standalone.cpp #include <iostream>
// Future server function. void Output(const char* szOutput) { std::cout << szOutput << std::endl; }
int main() { // Future client call. Output("Hello Lonely World!"); } |
下来看我们怎么把它改为一个标准IDL语言的程序
用IDL语言定义接口:
// File Example1.idl [ // A unique identifier that distinguishes this // interface from other interfaces. uuid(00000001-EAF3-4A7A-A0F2-BCE4C30DA77E),
// This is version 1.0 of this interface. version(1.0),
// This interface will use an implicit binding // handle named hExample1Binding. implicit_handle(handle_t hExample1Binding) ] interface Example1 // The interface is named Example1 { // A function that takes a zero-terminated string. void Output( [in, string] const char* szOutput); } |
上面这个文件是我们用idl语言定义的,我们定义了一个接口Example1, 它带有uuid和version. 这个接口里定义了一个函数Output.
UUID是什么?

接口的implicit_handle属性,我们后面再讨论。
接下来干什么呢?
我们为了在程序中使用idl,必须通过通过编译器(midl.exe)把它翻译成客户代理和服务器存根, 代理和存根将在后面被我们的编译器(windows平台下的cl.exe)所使用。
改好的服务器端程序:
// File Example1Server.cpp #include <iostream> #include "Example1.h"
// Server function. void Output(const char* szOutput) { std::cout << szOutput << std::endl; }
int main() { RPC_STATUS status;
// Uses the protocol combined with the endpoint for receiving // remote procedure calls. status = RpcServerUseProtseqEp( reinterpret_cast<unsigned char*>("ncacn_ip_tcp"), // Use TCP/IP // protocol. RPC_C_PROTSEQ_MAX_REQS_DEFAULT, // Backlog queue length for TCP/IP. reinterpret_cast<unsigned char*>("4747"), // TCP/IP port to use. NULL); // No security.
if (status) exit(status);
// Registers the Example1 interface. status = RpcServerRegisterIf( Example1_v1_0_s_ifspec, // Interface to register. NULL, // Use the MIDL generated entry-point vector. NULL); // Use the MIDL generated entry-point vector.
if (status) exit(status);
// Start to listen for remote procedure // calls for all registered interfaces. // This call will not return until // RpcMgmtStopServerListening is called. status = RpcServerListen( 1, // Recommended minimum number of threads. RPC_C_LISTEN_MAX_CALLS_DEFAULT, // Recommended //maximum number of threads. FALSE); // Start listening now.
if (status) exit(status); }
// Memory allocation function for RPC. // The runtime uses these two functions for allocating/deallocating // enough memory to pass the string to the server. void* __RPC_USER midl_user_allocate(size_t size) { return malloc(size); }
// Memory deallocation function for RPC. void __RPC_USER midl_user_free(void* p) { free(p); } |
这是初始化,和注册接口的代码。
现在看看怎么写客户端
// File Example1Client.cpp #include <iostream> #include "Example1.h"
int main() { RPC_STATUS status; unsigned char* szStringBinding = NULL;
// Creates a string binding handle. // This function is nothing more than a printf. // Connection is not done here. status = RpcStringBindingCompose( NULL, // UUID to bind to. reinterpret_cast<unsigned char*>("ncacn_ip_tcp"), // Use TCP/IP // protocol. reinterpret_cast<unsigned char*>("localhost"), // TCP/IP network // address to use. reinterpret_cast<unsigned char*>("4747"), // TCP/IP port to use. NULL, // Protocol dependent network options to use. &szStringBinding); // String binding output.
if (status) exit(status);
// Validates the format of the string binding handle and converts // it to a binding handle. // Connection is not done here either. status = RpcBindingFromStringBinding( szStringBinding, // The string binding to validate. &hExample1Binding); // Put the result in the implicit binding // handle defined in the IDL file.
if (status) exit(status);
RpcTryExcept { // Calls the RPC function. The hExample1Binding binding handle // is used implicitly. // Connection is done here. Output("Hello RPC World!"); } RpcExcept(1) { std::cerr << "Runtime reported exception " << RpcExceptionCode() << std::endl; } RpcEndExcept
// Free the memory allocated by a string. status = RpcStringFree( &szStringBinding); // String to be freed.
if (status) exit(status);
// Releases binding handle resources and disconnects from the server. status = RpcBindingFree( &hExample1Binding); // Frees the implicit binding handle defined in // the IDL file.
if (status) exit(status); }
// Memory allocation function for RPC. // The runtime uses these two functions for allocating/deallocating // enough memory to pass the string to the server. void* __RPC_USER midl_user_allocate(size_t size) { return malloc(size); }
// Memory deallocation function for RPC. void __RPC_USER midl_user_free(void* p) { free(p); } |
