| # The C and C++ fidl library |
| |
| This library provides the runtime for FIDL C/C++ family of bindings. This primarily means the |
| definitions of the message encoding and decoding functions. This also includes the definitions of |
| fidl data types such as vectors and strings. |
| |
| # Creating FIDL server connections |
| |
| See `fidl::BindServer()` functions at |
| [server.h](/zircon/system/ulib/fidl/include/lib/fidl/llcpp/server.h). |
| |
| This implementation allows for multiple in-flight transactions and supports multi-threaded |
| dispatchers. Using the `ToAsync()` on completers will not stop this implementation from receiving |
| other messages on the bound channel. This is useful for implementing fully asynchronous servers and |
| in particular allows for FIDL |
| [hanging-get](/docs/development/api/fidl.md#delay-responses-using-hanging-gets) patterns to be |
| implemented such that a "Watch" method does not block every other transaction in the channel. |
| |
| The implementation also supports synchronous multi-threaded servers via the `EnableNextDispatch()` |
| call on the `Sync` completer. `EnableNextDispatch()` enables another thread (on a multi-threaded |
| dispatcher) to handle the next message on a bound channel in parallel. More complex use-cases |
| combining synchronous and asynchronous behavior are also supported. |
