    initial v1  
    1 In the majority of cases we converged to using IPC as a means of doing remote procedure calls. We 'trivially' wrap IPC communication into a C API. There is a lot of repetitive effort associated with writing such code, which could be automated.

    33We should introduce a simple interface definition language and generate the IPC code from that. An interface definition might consist of:
    … …  
    1212  * list of input and output arguments (and their types)
    1313
    14 The allowed types depend on the level of sophistication of the implementation and can range from simle (integer) to more complex (string, struct, array).
