All,

I have a design sinerio. I have different struct (C structures) having different data's but NO similarities between struct and each struct does different operations. The struct for example are -

struct Apple {

int A;

char B;

long C;

double d;
..
..};

struct Orange {
char A;
int B;
unsigned int C;
long d;
..
};

and maybe few more.

Above few struct data members have dynamic data and other members have fixed/hardcoded datas. The complete struct is send as a buffer to a remote machine through native send()/read() API calls which has been successfully implemented. Please note this data as tested were hard coded or completely static but didn't had combination of dynamic/real and static data..

Now such operations (viz different or repeated) with ONE/MULTIPLE SET of data could be many as 1000, I wish now to send complete operations to remote machine, get a ACK from it and work on this struct data with modification/cancellation/reject/etc operations.

One way could be to work with something similar -

struct Apple {
...
..};

vector <Apple> data;

data.insert (begin();end())
---

But, I have few questions -

1. I can have "std::map<string, vector>" and send this data as native send(). Latter read/recv() with string. Am I correct as I would have multiple operations?

2. I do wish to maintain synchronisation using Boost::lockfree mechanism latter?

3. Any other techniques?

Thanks.
