title: What is the C version of RMI
body: <p>I have a set of functions in C/C++ that I need to be available to accept calls and return values to C/C++ code in a remote location, similar to RMI on the java platform. With RMI the Java methods are set up through the rmiregistry and remain available in memory to accept requests. I'm looking for similar functionality in C/C++, but i'm a bit confused with all the options that are out there. Is this type of scenario that CORBA was intended for and if so, is this still the best technology to use or are there better options out there. I've read about XML-RPC, CORBA, and a few others but i'm not sure which of these is what i need. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help.</p>
