Mini RPC

Feature

A small RPC implementation.

1. Fast , although limited by system call select , every 512 request will be finished in about 80 milliseconds. Which is way more than enough for small network or embedded device.
2. Small , the library on Linux with -Os , the size of it is less than 70KB.
3. Self contained library , the library doesn't require any third party and is strictly compatible with Linux/Windows and also ANSI C standard.
4. Simple, no rocket science here. Just absolute minimum and intuitive function , no IDL generation , only ANSI C is needed here.
5. Easy to use, to set up a server, the user just needs to know 4-5 API then you could have a single IO thread with multiple backend thread pool architecture ; for client user ,only 1 API is needed.
6. Efficient, wire protocol is entirely binary based, integer is encoded using Base128 , and string is encoded as slice. Overhead per packet is very small.

Tutorial

	Issue a request on client:
	API:
	int mrpc_request( const char* addr, int method_type , const char* method_name ,
                  struct mrpc_response* res , const char* par_fmt , ... );
				  
	Code:
		// Suppose we have a Add function register on server
		struct mrpc_response response;
		mrpc_request("127.0.0.1:12345",MRPC_FUNCTION,"Add",
			&response,"%u%u",1,2);
		printf("1+2=%d",response.result.value.uinteger);
