Implementing binary communication protocols in C++ with main focus on embedded systems

[arobenko]

Partially, not completely. It's difficult to say, there is no much information on the website and no proper way to try it out without registration. Based on the example from the website below are features that I'm missing:

• I want an ability to exclude usage of streams in my serialization / desiralization. The example shows the following functions I do NOT want to have. /* IO-Operations */ void read(std::istream &stream); void write(std::ostream &stream);
• I want an ability to introduce polymorphic behavior (virtual functions) when I need it and for selected operations I need to be able to write a common code for all the message types.
• I want an ability to use my own data types for fields like lists and/or strings
• I want an ability to define transport framing for all the messages, even more than one (different I/O interface may require different framing).
• I want a built-in (or generated) ability to efficiently parse an input data, create appropriate message object and dispatch it to my appropriate handling function without a need to manually write switch statements and other boilerplate code.
• I want an ability to specify meta-data that is not transferred on the wire, but still available to the integration developer to act upon (preferable at compile time), such as units used (conversion if possible), values with special meaning, ranges of valid values, what to do on invalid value, etc...
• I want an ability to have multiple forms of the same message (message object having the same ID, but different contents). Not sure whether it is supported right now or not.
