Rusty Doors

Rust is great. Doors are great. Putting them together is not yet great.

What we have currently:

/* Server process */

doorfn!(Server() {
	/* Do some great server stuff */
});

fn main() {
	let path = "server.door";
	match Server::attach_to("server.door") {
		None => panic!("Could not prepare a door on the filesystem"),
		Some(_d) => {
			let x = time::Duration::from_millis(1000 * 360);
			thread::sleep(x);
		}
	}
}

What we want:

#[doorfn]
fn Server(data: vec<MyType>, descriptors: vec<Descriptor>, cookie: i32) {
	/* Do some great server stuf */
}

fn main() {
	Server::attach_to("server.door")?;
	door::await_clients(); 
}

and in the client:

fn main() {
	let server = File::open("server.door")?.into_door();
	server.call()?;
}
