gRPC inproc transport

[vadim....@gmail.com]

Hello,

This blog post https://grpc.io/blog/grpc-stacks mentions that it's possible to use In-Process transport with C# library. What's the right usage of this transport from wrapping languages? Is this transport built-in or it's necessary to recompile the library to enable it? I couldn't find examples.

Thanks in advance.

Hey, the API for using inproc channels is currently not exposed in C#.

I filed https://github.com/grpc/grpc.github.io/issues/803 to point out this inaccuracy.

I am the author of the blog post.  The pictures included are an approximation of the truth, which would otherwise be very complicated.  I tried to convey as much information as possible without being too inaccurate, but as you noticed it isn't right for C# (or any wrapped language except for C++).

Thanks for explanation.

Are there any plans to expose this api to wrapped languages?

Not that I know of, but feel free to experiment with exposing the API and share your results. Contributions are always welcome!

It seems this got lost with moving away from grpc.github.io. I stumbled over it myself and wasted some time searching for it since I thought it's finally possible.

I made a thread discussing this already back in 2016: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/grpc-io/3KRk-72cqyE

We used a workaround for it in the meantime, but it would still be nice to be able to just shortcut it in those cases using inproc. I might look into it again in July or August.

I filed an issue: https://github.com/grpc/grpc.io/issues/27

And proposed changing it to C++ in the example since that language supports inproc as PR: https://github.com/grpc/grpc.io/pull/28
