- At the recent Usenix C++ conference, a paper was presented that describes a
- system that adapted ONC RPC to the C++ iostream model. The title was
- "Integrating the Sun Microsystems XDR/RPC Protocols into the C++ Stream
- Model", by Robert Minnear, et. al. of Purdue. The basic idea is to overload
- the << and >> operators for marshalling XDR data, and to use fairly simple
- RPCclient and RPCserver classes for transferring the data.
-
- There have been other attempts at this (Barry Warsaw <bwarsaw@cen.com> wrote
- one).
