Further developments in generating type-safe messaging

TL;DR

This paper discusses recent enhancements to a type-safe messaging source code generator, including new language support, network optimizations, and protocol data types, improving cross-language communication safety and efficiency.

Contribution

The paper introduces additional client languages, network packet size optimization, and a new protocol data type to the existing type-safe messaging generator.

Findings

Added support for three new client languages

Reduced network packet size for efficiency

Introduced a new protocol data type

Abstract

At ICALEPCS '09, we introduced a source code generator that allows processes to communicate safely using data types native to each host language. In this paper, we discuss further development that has occurred since the conference in Kobe, Japan, including the addition of three more client languages, an optimization in network packet size and the addition of a new protocol data type.
