Build an array of interfaces with more than one server

[themech]

Hi,

the documentation states that its possible to build an array of interfaces with one server and several clients. Is it also possible to have one client and serveral servers?

Furthermore is it possible to define an array of single interfaces with individual server and clients? For example like this:

Code: Select all

interface interface1{
    void var(int value);
};

void task1(server interface interface1 iface[]){
    select{
        case iface[int i].var(int x):
                printf("interface: %i, value: %i\n", i, x);
        break;
    }
}

void task2(client interface interface1 iface[]){
    iface[0].var(1);
}

int main(void){
    interface interface1 iface[6];
    par {
        task1(iface[0]);
        task2(iface[0]);
        task1(iface[1]);
        task2(iface[1]);
    }
    return 0;
}

Yes, you can have one client connected to several servers using an interface array. I've amended your example code to demonstrate this:

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>

interface interface1{
    void var(int value);
};

void task1(server interface interface1 iface, int i) {
    select{
        case iface.var(int x):
                printf("interface: %i, value: %i\n", i, x);
        break;
    }
}

void task2(client interface interface1 iface[num], unsigned int num) {
    for (unsigned int i = 0; i < num; i++) {
        iface[i].var(i);
    }
}

int main(void){
    interface interface1 iface[2];
    par {
        task1(iface[0], 0);
        task1(iface[1], 1);
        task2(iface, 2);
    }
    return 0;
}

Here one client (task2) that connects to two servers (two instances of task1). If you run this example you'll get the following output:

Code: Select all

interface: 0, value: 0
interface: 1, value: 1

Thanks that shortened my code a lot!
