RE: [dsdp-tcf-dev] TCF client C API

["Tarassov, Eugene" <eugene.tarassov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since the agent is supposed to run in embedded environment, it is
important to keep its size small.
So, agent APIs are less abstract, more practical and rather
minimalistic. In particular, unlike in Java, in C we do not define APIs
for the protocol itself - for individual commands, events etc.
In fact, I'm already concerned about the agent getting too fat and
consider options of getting it thinner.

At the same time, it would be good to have C++ version of the framework
that is tailored for tools development and similar to Java version in
abstraction level and scope.

True, but I think it would be beneficial to the community if we provided
an API in C that could be reused for Tools and Services written in C
and/or C++. Then they could ensure they are properly following the
protocol. Does the reference agent, which is written in C, have that?
