Re: DataStorm compilation issue on MacOS - NodeI.cpp:476:24: error: loop variable 's' of type ... create

Many thanks - "working" (fast action - like in old times :-) ).

just a small copy/paste issue I think:
In demos/cpp/make/Make.rules
DATASTORM_HOME ?= /opt/DataStorm-3.7.0
should be changed to
DATASTORM_HOME ?= /opt/DataStorm-0.2.0
for bare consistency with the version number

sent pull request

Cheers

Re: ICE Connectivity (C# client to C++ server)

This exception indicates that your client is trying to talk to an Ice 3.4 server using the 1.1 encoding, the 1.1 encoding is supported with Ice 3.5 or later.

If you cannot upgrade your server to a more recent Ice version you will have to use the 1.0 encoding, see https://doc.zeroc.com/technical-articles/general-topics/encoding-version-1-1#EncodingVersion1.1-InteroperabilitywithIce3.4andearlierreleases

Re: Help To Integrate Ice Into A Complicated Architecture

With Glacier2, you don't necessarily need to go through the backend server for Ice invocations. Your JavaScript client could directly invoke the Game instance server by going through Glacier2 without having to go through the backend server. Glacier2 will only listen on a single port so this means you would have to expose only two ports to clients: the Glacier2 port and the backend server port.

It's hard to provide specific advice without knowing more about your architecture. In general, using Glacier2 will be simpler when a client has to communicate with multiple servers: it creates a session with Glacier2 and invocations from the clients will be routed to the different servers deployed behind Glacier2 by the Glacier2 router.

Using bi-dir directly is fine as well for simple client-server communications. It gets more complicated if the client has to talk to multiple servers as you will need to implement some kind of routing for requests if you want the client to only connect to a single server instance.

Re: How to serialize named tuples (C#)?

Hi Mike,

Ice cannot directly send your named tuples, you have to use types defined in Slice, here you can probably use a couple of structs and sequences like in:

struct BenchmarkCount
{
    long Data; // Send date as a long
    int Count;
}

sequence<BenchmarkCount> BenchmarkCountSeq; 

struct BenchmarkInfo
{
    string Key;
    int Benchmark;
    BenchmarkCountSeq Counters;
}

sequence<BenchmarkInfo> BenchmarkInfoSeq;
