  • Question on cross platform libraries and networking
    1 project | /r/C_Programming | 26 Oct 2022
    I've had a look at some open source libraries that already support networking on different platforms like nanomsg, but I can't really tell how the library includes it's headers. My current idea is to use the processors to include the right headers for each system, and then each function would do the same. In a makefile I would do the same for linking correctly. Is this a good method, or is there an easier way? Or does it not matter overall as long as the library works?

What are some alternatives?

When comparing NATS and nanomsg you can also consider the following projects:

celery - Distributed Task Queue (development branch)

ZeroMQ - ZeroMQ core engine in C++, implements ZMTP/3.1

gRPC - C++ based gRPC (C++, Python, Ruby, Objective-C, PHP, C#)

Apache ActiveMQ - Apache ActiveMQ Classic

Cap'n Proto - Cap'n Proto serialization/RPC system - core tools and C++ library
