Re: [ros-users] Ros Communications

The boost::archive compatible XDR (de)coder is here:

https://github.com/ptroja/mrrocpp/tree/master/src/base/lib/xdr/

The design is inspired by the archive found in Orocos's mqueue transport.
Both input and output archives are implemented at the bottom of the
boost::archive hierarchy
in order to avoid dynamic memory allocation introduced by the middle layer
of boost::archive.

There are no dependencies other than <rpc/rpc.h>. No languages other than
C++ are involved,
because the goal was to provide zero-memory-allocation serialization
solution for C++ without
the need for IDLs (which are common if you need cross-language
serialization, see i.e. the ICE)
or parser scripts similar to rpcgen for C or the one used in Player.
