A light-weight RPC implementation of Google's protobuf RPC framework.

Wiki: https://github.com/baidu/sofa-pbrpc/wiki

• High performace.
• Easy to use. Refer to sample code in './sample'.
• Supports sync call and async call. Refer to './sample/echo'.
• Supports three level (service/method/request) timeout. Refer to './sample/timeout_sample'.
• Supports transparent compression. Refer to './sample/compress_sample'.
• Supports mock test. Refer to './sample/mock_sample'.
• Supports network flow control.
• Supports auto connecting and reconnecting.
• Supports keep alive time of idle connections.
• Supports statistics for profiling.
• Supports multi-server load balance and fault tolerance.
• Supports http protocol.
• Provides web monitor.
• Provides python client library.

This lib depends on boost-1.53.0 (only need header), protobuf-2.4.1, snappy and zlib:

• boost - http://www.boost.org/
• protobuf - http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/
• snappy - http://code.google.com/p/snappy/
• zlib - http://zlib.net/

ATTENTION: boost header is only needed when compiling the lib, but is not needed for user code.

Extrally, './unit-test' and './sample/mock_sample' also depends on gtest:

• gtest - http://code.google.com/p/googletest/

1. Modify the file './depends.mk' to specify depending libs.
   The necessary libs are boost, protobuf, snappy, and zlib.
2. Run 'make' to build sofa-pbrpc.
   The default optimization level is 'O2'.
   To change it, modify the 'OPT' variable in file './Makefile'.
3. Run 'make install' to install sofa-pbrpc.
   The default install directory is './output'.
   To change it, modify the 'PREFIX' variable in file './Makefile'.
