- method returned value(s) must be exported or builtin types
An example method:
func (s *CalcService) Div(a, b int) (int, error)
func (s *CalcService) Add(a, b int) (int, error)
When the returned error isn't nil the returned integer is ignored and the error is
send back to the client. Otherwise the returned integer is send back to the client.
Optional arguments are supported by accepting pointer values as arguments. E.g.
if we want to do the addition in an optional finite field we can accept a mod
argument as pointer value.
func (s *CalService) Add(a, b int, mod *int) (int, error)
This RPC method can be called with 2 integers and a null value as third argument.
In that case the mod argument will be nil. Or it can be called with 3 integers,
in that case mod will be pointing to the given third argument. Since the optional
argument is the last argument the RPC package will also accept 2 integers as
arguments. It will pass the mod argument as nil to the RPC method.
The server offers the ServeCodec method which accepts a ServerCodec instance. It will
read requests from the codec, process the request and sends the response back to the
client using the codec. The server can execute requests concurrently. Responses
