TinyIpc.Shim

TinyIpc.Shim is the public compatibility layer that applications consume. It preserves the familiar TinyIpc-facing types such as TinyMessageBus, TinyMemoryMappedFile, and TinyIpcOptions, but routes them to this repo's Unix-focused implementation.

What It Is For

This project exists so callers can keep using the TinyIpc-style API while the actual transport is provided by XivIpc.

  • TinyMessageBus exposes publish/subscribe messaging for a named channel.
  • TinyMemoryMappedFile exposes named shared storage.
  • TinyIpcOptions carries sizing and timeout settings.

How It Works

  • TinyMessageBus validates that callers are using the shim TinyMemoryMappedFile, derives a ChannelInfo, and creates the real backend through UnixMessageBusBackendFactory.
  • The shim resolves one of two bus families from XivIpc: direct or sidecar.
  • direct + in-memory is local-process only and mainly useful for tests.
  • direct + shared-memory is the native Linux direct IPC mode.
  • sidecar + journal is the default brokered production mode, and sidecar + ring is an alternate retained brokered mode.
  • If initialization fails, the shim swaps in a disabled implementation so failures surface predictably.
  • TinyMemoryMappedFile is a lazy wrapper over XivIpc.IO.UnixTinyMemoryMappedFile.
  • Windows-only raw-handle constructors are intentionally unsupported here. The shim only supports the named Unix-style constructors.
  • ABI-flavor compile constants (3x, 4x, 5x, compat) let publish scripts build plugin-specific compatibility variants from the same source.

Main Entry Points

  • Messaging/TinyMessageBus.cs
  • IO/TinyMemoryMappedFile.cs
  • TinyIpcOptions.cs
