I have an existing library in C, which I want to be able to allow remote access to (either from Linux or Windows).
我在C中有一个现有的库，我希望能够允许远程访问（从Linux或Windows）。
I looked at the usual RPC suspects like Thrift and Protobuf, but neither of these deal cleanly with C-style function calls (things like pass-by-ref, char* instead of string, * instead of List<> etc).
我查看了常见的RPC嫌疑人，如Thrift和Protobuf，但这些都没有干净地处理C风格的函数调用（像pass-by-ref，char *而不是string，*而不是List <>等）。
In short, to use either of these it looks like I would need to write a complete IDL from scratch, and add a lot of boilerplate code to transfer C-style function calls into these environments.
简而言之，要使用其中任何一个，我看起来需要从头开始编写完整的IDL，并添加许多样板代码以将C样式函数调用传递到这些环境中。
Are there any RPC libraries around that
是否有任何RPC库
- can deal directly with C header files (or have tools to auto generate the initial IDL from C definitions)?
- 可以直接处理C头文件（或者有工具从C定义自动生成初始IDL）？
- are cross-platform Linux/Windows compatible?
- 是跨平台的Linux / Windows兼容吗？
- require the absolute minimum of boilerplate code?
- 要求绝对最小的样板代码？
- support sockets
- 支持套接字
- are relatively high performance (XML-RPC i'm looking at you)?
- 性能相对较高（XML-RPC我在看你）？

Well, there's protobuf-c, an implementation of protobuf in C.
好吧，有protobuf-c，在C中实现protobuf。
And then there's the classical XDR, found on most/(all?) unix-like systems, versions exist for windows as well. See also the Linux xdr(3) man page which contains an overview of the API.
然后是大多数/（所有？）unix类系统中的经典XDR，也存在用于Windows的版本。另请参见Linux xdr（3）手册页，其中包含API概述。
Note that both protobuf and XDR are serialization libraries, they don't provide RPC. The "companion RPC library" to XDR is called, well, RPC, but I don't think anyone writes new code with that, and AFAICS it's unix-specific (portmap doesn't run on windows, does it? And it's generally a bad idea anyway.). Then there's protobuf-c-rpc which is the C version of the protobuf RPC library; probably a better bet than classic RPC.
请注意，protobuf和XDR都是序列化库，它们不提供RPC。 XDR的“伴随RPC库”被称为RPC，但是我不认为有人用它编写新代码，而AFAICS它是特定于unix的（portmap不能在windows上运行，是吗？它通常是不管怎样，这个坏主意。）然后是protobuf-c-rpc，它是protobuf RPC库的C版本;可能比经典RPC更好的选择。
