rgrpc: Asynchronous 'gRPC' Client and Server Runtime
A first-class asynchronous 'gRPC' <https://grpc.io/> runtime
built on the generic asynchronous 'C++' API ('GenericStub',
'AsyncGenericService') <https://grpc.github.io/grpc/cpp/>. Requests and
responses cross the native boundary as method names plus opaque byte
buffers; 'RProtoBuf' supplies and consumes the bytes, so schemas are
loaded at runtime and no generated service stubs are required. Native
completion threads never call the R API: completions are queued natively
and delivered in batches on the R main thread. Complements 'RProtoBuf'
rather than replacing it. Links against the system 'gRPC' library for
'C++'.

| NeedsCompilation: |

| SystemRequirements: |
gRPC C++ (tested 1.48 to 1.83) and protobuf
libraries with development headers, found via 'pkg-config
grpc++ protobuf': 'libgrpc++-dev' and 'libprotobuf-dev'
(Debian, Ubuntu); 'grpc-cpp', 'grpc-devel' and 'protobuf-devel'
(Fedora); 'grpc', 'protobuf' and 'pkgconf' (Homebrew). Windows:
bundled with Rtools 4.3 and later. Without them the package
installs as a stub whose functions error; see grpc_available(). |
