I'm undertaking wriitng a bridge application between a remote data
server API and multiple utility applications which pull and send data
to the API. The reason for a bridge is that the data server limits
connectivity to a single connection/account.
I already have the bridge->API connection functioning and now I need to
begin the multiple utilityApps->bridge connection. I have never
undertaken a task as this and I'm wondering what the best solution for
connecting these multiple apps to the bridge might be? Increasing speed
and minimizing latency is priority number one, so I don't mind doing
extra work to meet that goal.
Can anyone recommend a particular solution that I should consider?
Would a socket based approach be the best path? Thank you very much for
all input.

Just a thought: since C++ doesn't define sockets or any other networking
or [interprocess] communication mechanisms, you might want to consider
asking in a newsgroup for your OS. Just a thought...

To keep the one connection/account whilst still allowing multiple
clients to connect, it sounds like the Message Dispatcher pattern is
what you need. http://www.eaipatterns.com/MessageDispatcher.html
There may be other integration patterns that suit you here.

Hi,
In my view, you should concentrate on data consistency, menaing prepare
good classes which include a bit of error trapping, prepare recovery
and real time statistics functions like speed, number of units
transferred...
communicating with server is just not about using API and sending,,,its
about proper and optimized algorithmic approach...and in C++ you need
to be sure where and how these objects are created and destroyed as it
may very soon lead to heap corruption and memory loss...

ok, thank you all for your input. i didn't realize c++ had no native
communication functionalty... i suppose that makes sense as it would
differ per os. anyway, i'll take the suggestions to heart. thanks you
Andrew, for the link. i'm going to try this in the mfc group, as i now
realize it's most likely better suited there.
thanks again,

No problem.
I'd try comp.software.p atterns or comp.software-eng rather than MFC
group - unless you intent to use an MS library to do something.

Here's my situation. I have an unmanaged C++ project that I am using
to interface with the Lotus Notes C API. I then have a managed C++
project in the same solution that functions as a "C++ Bridge". It
defines a function in a header that the native C++ library can call,
and then it forwards the calls along to a third project, which is a C#
DLL, and displays a System.Windows.Form.
So, I have:

The code below was taken from an example.
All the "noise" in the example was thrown out.
This is supposedly according to the bridge
pattern. What in the code (which lines)
represent the bridge pattern (make this code
to be according to the bridge pattern),
and what is the advantage of employing the
bridge pattern? It seems "l'art pour l'art" to me.

Hi,
I have a rather interesting problem. I have a unmanged c++ class
which needs to communicate information to managed c++ via callbacks,
with a layer of c# on top of the managed c++ ultimatley retreiving the

using a _nogc bridge class wrapped in a _gc c++ class in order to
facilitate this interop.
But we've converted everything not c++ to .NET 2.0 and would love to

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
