Send MessagePack messages from Elixir to C++ through nanomsg.
There is a Elixir application in elixir_client
and a C++ application in
cpp_server
. Elixir sends MessagePack encoded messages through nanomsg to a
Qt/C++ application. The C++ application is a GUI application that shows the
received messages in a windows (Qt TextArea) as a string.
- Qt installation (tested with version 5.4).
- nanomsg installation. It is important to use the same version as that is shipped with
basho/enm
. Currently 0.5-beta. - MessagePack installation (tested with Debian package
libmsgpack-dev
).
C++. This compiles and start the GUI application.
cd cpp_server
qmake .
make
./cpp_server
Elixir. This fetches, compiles and starts the Erlang/Elixir applications.
cd elixir_client
mix deps.get
mix deps.compile
iex -S mix
Once we are in the Elixir shell, we can start sending messages to the C++ program.
{:ok, s} = :enm.pair
:enm.connect(s, "ipc:///tmp/test.ipc")
:enm.send(s, [<<1>> | Msgpax.pack!(["hey", "hoo"])])
:enm.close
