Estimating the term…
A remote procedure call channel for interprocess communication in a managed code environment ensures thread-affinity on both sides of an interprocess communication. Using the channel, calls from a first process to a second process are guaranteed to run on a same thread in a target process. Furthermore, calls from the second process back to the first process will also always execute on the same thread. An interprocess communication manager that allows thread affinity and reentrancy is able to correctly keep track of the logical thread of execution so calls are not blocked in unmanaged hosts. Furthermore, both unmanaged and managed hosts are able to make use of transparent remote call functionality provided by an interprocess communication manager for the managed code environment.
A remote procedure call channel for interprocess communication which ensures thread-affinity on both sides of said interprocess communication, comprising:
A remote procedure call channel that uses a thread affinitized Component Object Model (COM) object for transporting messages between a first process and a second process, comprising:
A remote procedure call channel for interprocess communication, comprising:
