to V2 client-server APIs</title><shortdesc>Describes how to modify client-server implementations to use the

new Version 2 client-server APIs instead of the deprecated Version 1 APIs.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>The new APIs have been introduced as part of the effort to provide a more

secure interface for client-server communications, and form an essential component

of Platform Security in Symbian platform. </p>

<section id="GUID-35D3BD7A-8C16-50C3-80AD-2422E3B92AAB"><title>General points</title> <p>The

user library, EUSER.DLL, makes both the Version 1 and Version 2 client-server

APIs available. However, it is possible to 'hide' the Version 1 APIs during

compilation by defining the C pre-processor macro <codeph>__HIDE_IPC_V1__</codeph>. </p> <p>For

example, by adding the following line to a component's MMP file: </p> <codeblock id="GUID-048E20E3-1E8C-5F08-9E40-CE0A43849AD5" xml:space="preserve">macro __HIDE_IPC_V1__</codeblock> <p>This

can also be done globally for all components in Symbian platform by defining

the macro in the platform's HRH file: </p> <codeblock id="GUID-30C6F786-CB13-5962-80E5-5ACBB5879B8C" xml:space="preserve">#define __HIDE_IPC_V1__</codeblock> <p>In

addition, the EUSER header files define the macro <codeph>__IPC_V2_PRESENT__</codeph>,

which allows source code that still needs to compile with older Symbian platform

releases, to detect the presence of the new APIs, and use conditional compilation

as appropriate. </p> </section>

</table> <p>These are functions for sending request messages to a server.

Each of these messages can take up to <codeph>KMaxMessageArguments</codeph> arbitrary

arguments (i.e. 4 arguments), and it is the packaging of these arguments which

has been changed in the Version 2 APIs. </p> <p>The Version 1 APIs take a <codeph>TAny*</codeph>,

which points to a C array containing a <codeph>KMaxMessageArguments</codeph> number

of 32-bit quantities, usually <codeph>TAny</codeph> * or <codeph>TInt</codeph> types.

This is an example Version 1 client function: </p> <codeblock id="GUID-5FF9D271-11EC-5144-A3ED-8D0B65DD43E1" xml:space="preserve">TInt RMySession::Write(TDes8C&amp; aDes, TInt aLength, TInt aMode)

    args[1]=(TAny*)aLength;

    args[2]=(TAny*)aMode;

    return SendReceive(ERequestWrite, &args[0]);

    }</codeblock> <p>The Version 2 APIs package all of the arguments into

a <codeph>TIpcArgs</codeph> object. This has templated constructors that take

between 0 and 4 objects. The above example would be implemented like this

using the Version 2 APIs: </p> <codeblock id="GUID-3AD69C4D-B00D-5384-9455-4529235ADC0B" xml:space="preserve">TInt RMySession::Write(TDes8&amp; aDes, TInt aLength, TInt aMode)

    TIpcArgs args(&aDes, aLength, aMode);

    return SendReceive(ERequestWrite, args);

    }</codeblock> <p>This could also be written in a shorter way: </p> <codeblock id="GUID-9F904E6F-C2BE-57C9-B287-F25D4C743B54" xml:space="preserve">TInt RMySession::Write(TDes8C&amp; aDes, TInt aLength, TInt aMode)

    {

    return SendReceive(ERequestWrite, TIpcArgs(&aDes, aLength, aMode) );

    }</codeblock> <p>The <codeph>TIpcArgs</codeph> object stores additional

type information for each argument, and this is used to validate a server's

usage of the arguments with the various <codeph>RMessagePtr2::Read()</codeph> and <codeph>RMessagePtr2::Write()</codeph> functions. </p> <p>If

you need to explicitly send an empty or unused argument to a server, then

use the <codeph>ENothing</codeph> enumeration. For example: </p> <codeblock id="GUID-1AFAE8D7-6EF1-531C-9605-249952DD3414" xml:space="preserve">TIpcArgs args(arg1, TIpcArgs::ENothing, arg3);</codeblock> <p>The
