Chapter 1 Overview

This chapter gives an overview of the features of the TIBCO SmartSockets cxxipc library and shows how these features are accessed. It is assumed throughout this guide that you are familiar with the C language-based SmartSockets model and the C++ programming language. For more background information on the SmartSockets IPC model, see the TIBCO SmartSockets User’s Guide and the TIBCO SmartSockets Application Programming Interface.

TIBCO SmartSockets now includes a new C++ class library, the sscpp library. The sscpp library is the preferred library for new development. For more information on the features and use of the sscpp library, see the TIBCO SmartSockets C++ User’s Guide.

The TIBCO SmartSockets cxxipc Class Library describes the cxxipc library, which is included with TIBCO SmartSockets, Version 6.2 and higher, for backwards compatibility only. It does not support any new features or functions added to later releases of SmartSockets. All new development should use the sscpp library.
