This International Standard specifies a model for procedure calls, and a reference syntax for mapping to and from the model. This syntax is referred to as the Interface Definition Notation. The model defined in this International Standard includes such features as procedure invocation, parameter passing, completion status, and environmental issues relating to non-local references and state.

This International Standard does not specify:

  • the method by which the procedure call initiated by the client mode processor is communicated to the server mode language processor;

  • the minimum requirements of a data processing system that is capable of supporting an implementation of a language processor to support LIPC;

  • the mechanism by which programs written to support LIPC are transformed for use by a data processing system;

  • the representation of a parameter.

NOTE — Originally it was the intention to align the definitions and concepts of this International Standard with those of the RPC standard (ISO/IEC 11578). Unfortunately, in a late stage of the development process of the RPC standard it was decided to use for that standard a completely different approach. Hence the intended alignment did not materialize.

Annex D gives an overview of the differences between the concepts as defined by this International Standard and the RPC standard.
