Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
This Section is a compilation of the most common questions via GitHub, chat,
|
|
and mailing list.
|
|
|
|
Can I Encrypt CAF Communication?
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Yes, by using the OpenSSL module (see :ref:`free-remoting-functions`).
|
|
|
|
Can I Create Messages Dynamically?
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Yes.
|
|
|
|
Usually, messages are created implicitly when sending messages but can also be
|
|
created explicitly using ``make_message``. In both cases, types and number of
|
|
elements are known at compile time. To allow for fully dynamic message
|
|
generation, CAF also offers ``message_builder``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: C++
|
|
|
|
message_builder mb;
|
|
// prefix message with some atom
|
|
mb.append(strings_atom::value);
|
|
// fill message with some strings
|
|
std::vector<std::string> strings{/*...*/};
|
|
for (auto& str : strings)
|
|
mb.append(str);
|
|
// create the message
|
|
message msg = mb.to_message();
|
|
|
|
What Debugging Tools Exist?
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
The ``scripts/`` directory contains some useful tools to aid in analyzing CAF
|
|
log output.
