host:
Replace the msgpack-RPC (rpclib) client with a gRPC-based
implementation. Add auto-generated C++ client and Python bindings
from protobuf definitions. Remove rpclib dependency and integrate
FindgRPC into CMake.
mpm:
Replace the msgpack-RPC server with a gRPC server generated from
protobuf definitions. Add pb_utils.py for type conversion between
Python and protobuf. Update rpc_server.py to dispatch calls via
gRPC stubs. Update mpm_shell to use gRPC. Replace pyudev with sysfs
scan in uio device discovery.
Bump MPM compatibility number to 7.0 and RPC version to 2.
This change requires new depedencies. E.g. for Ubuntu 24.04 or 25.10:
libgrpc++-dev, libprotobuf-dev, protobuf-compiler-grpc, python3-grpcio
This adds two tools to the ./tools/ subdirectory:
== clang-formatter.sh ==
This is simply a small shell script that can be executed from the top of
the UHD repository, and it will format all files according the the
.clang-format file. It can be executed as such:
$ CLANG_FORMAT=clang-format-14 ./tools/clang-formatter.sh apply
Specifying a clang-format executable is optional, but note that
clang-format 14.0 should be used.
== run-clang-format.py ==
This is a Python script that is a modified version from
https://github.com/gnuradio/clang-format-lint-action/blob/ \
0b0cb14cf220a070d2a8b2610bd74ad1546252a1/run-clang-format.py
It was modified to add --patch-file option.
Alongside this file is a .clang-format-ignore file, which is sourced
from this script. The command can be run as such:
$ ./tools/run-clang-format.py \
--clang-format-executable clang-format-14 \
--extensions c,cpp,h,hpp,hpp.in,ipp \
-r \
--patch-file format.patch \
/path/to/uhd-repo
It will provide both a nice output summary as well as a patch file that
can be consumed with `patch -p0 < format.patch`.
