Does gRPC run on QNX?

[mjg...@gmail.com]

Is anyone out there running gRPC on QNX platforms? I can't find many people talking about it online and it's not listed as officially supported on gRPC's website, but I can't think of any particular reasons why it shouldn't be able to work. Just curious if anyone out there has successfully ran gRPC on QNX.

What language are you interested in?

I do not think anyone has tried it yet. So I am not sure if it will work. If you get a chance to try it, do let us know how that experience was.

That being said, a supported platform is one which we continuously validate against, and we have no plans for doing that with QNX at the moment.

I would be interested in supporting C++ and Python, in that order of importance. I saw some issues on GitHub of people dealing with compiler errors when using a qnx compiler so it seems like some people out there are doing it (or trying), but I don’t see very many people talking about it. I was hopinf to find someone who is giving it a try so I can hear from their experience. 

I’m doing a trade study for my company about more modern ways of messaging between micro services, and qnx is a requirement. I’m not sure if I’ll be given a chance to try it out as a “de risk” effort, but if I do then I will definitely report back.

Thanks Matt! That sounds promising. Keep us posted on how this goes. :)

It would seem that gRPC (and similar rpc packages for that matter) would be at odds with QNX - being a RTOS. Even general TCP networking (retries, etc.) can be difficult.

Can you elaborate on your setup / use case ? Are these just low priority passive processes that run along side the realtime processes - and the OSX ensures the realtime get their due?

I’m not at all saying in any way it won’t work, wrong, etc. -  just very curious.

The APIs would be for non critical configuration and “out of band” messaging.
