ASR is a portable cross-platform humble and lightweight library to create TCP/UDP servers (and clients) using our beloved C++, currently supported as-is on Windows and Linux using Clang, haven't tested MacOS (yet).
Includes support for a variety of useful features such as:
- Channel management
- Message schemas!
- Stream noise tolerance
- Event buses
- Buffered I/O
- ... And more (to come)
Depending on your platform, rename the Makefile.linux or Makefile.win to just Makefile, ensure to have Clang build tools installed.
Compile by running make all and libasr will be available in the lib folder.
There are some examples of plain UDP/TCP servers in the examples folder, however the big example that includes handlers, channels, schemas is the "custom_protocol".
Run make custom_protocol_server to start the server in port 1000. Then in another terminal window run make custom_protocol_client to start the client.
The client will some messages to the server, and the server will reply as well, after a couple of these the client will disconnect.
Every one second a memory/channel reporter will print a message on screen showing how many memory blocks and channels are active (or were handled overall).
