QNX support?
Closed this issue · 5 comments
@c6supper I have noticed that you started making changes to asio-grpc to support QNX. Is there anything I can do to help?
I am not familiar with QNX, what are its limitations? Does it support C++17?

Hi Tradias,
Thanks for your attention. At first I was just doing estimation on the IPC framework for automotive industry. When estimating the gRPC, I found your awesome project, so I decided to port asio-grpc to QNX7.0 (micro kernel, commercial OS, no source code), which compiler should be GCC5.4 (early C++17 version which makes me have no choice but to stick to c++14), I did a try a pretty "nastied" way to eliminate building errors just want to estimate how much work is needed for my future porting job. But the estimation is not so good, now I am focus on estimating another IPC framework(Fast-DDS).
@c6supper I agree that porting asio-grpc to C++14 would be a lot of work, even for me. I see that QNX7.1 ships with GCC 8.3.0 which should work with asio-grpc right away. Maybe that could be an option for you.
In any case, thank you for considering asio-grpc. I hope that you find a suitable framework for your project :)

Thanks for your advise, I 'll check with blackberry to see if I could a license.
Ok, I will also add GCC 8.3.0 to the CI system and fix any issues that might come up.
Ubuntu only comes with GCC 8.4.0, I have added that to the CI system - all tests are passing 🎉 . Must use ASIO_GRPC_USE_BOOST_CONTAINER
