GPP is a simple GObject implementation of the Paranoid Pirate Pattern, which uses zeromq internally.

GPP is not a zeromq GLib wrapper.

It provides a GPPQueue object, which relays requests from a GPPClient to a GPPWorker, and replies from the worker to the client, as simple strings.

It implements heartbeating, which means that if a worker fails in some way, the client will be able to make its request again, with a per-request retries limit.

Workers are picked on a least-recently-used basis.

One can indifferently instantiate and use all these objects in the same process or in separate ones.

It doesn't implement client prioritization, this is up to the user.

Get the meson build system.

mkdir build
cd build

You can see available options with:

You can set them with the -D flag, for example:
