Hi again! > I hoped you had an epiphany and found a nice solution for the raw-pointer problem without the need to change them and we could borrow that idea :) Well, almost. But alas, I am unable to perform magic in which a vaddr in proce

We are doing it with fancy-pointers (yes, that is the actual technical term in C++ land) and allocators. It’s open-source, so it’s not like there’s any hidden magic, of course: “Just” a matter of working through it. Using manual mapping (sa

At the risk of almost-spamming -- this post has taken off, which is sweet, and I have noticed some trends about what seems to interest readers which may not be placed as prominently up-top as would fit this audience. To wit: the API Overvie

While I wouldn't dream of claiming Flow-IPC will fit every IPCer's priorities, nor of trying to change yours or anyone's, nor of debating about what is trivial versus hard -- it should at least be easily possible to know wh

Oooh, so close. We’ve got the advertisement/discovery and messaging for sure. Concretely what it would take to port it to those OS: https://github.com/Flow-IPC/ipc/issues/101 Given a couple weeks to work

A couple - 1. The obvious one is “just” extending stuff internally working via Unix domain sockets to TCP sockets. Various internal code is written with an eye to that, including anticipating that certain operations (such as connect) that a

Oh… Sys V SHM… not POSIX. Old-school.

Interesting! I'd best write this down. Current notes on macOS and Windows port work: https://github.com/Flow-IPC/ipc/issues/101 (<= https://github.com/orgs/Flow-IPC/discussio

Reply co-signed! That said, I'll add that my Manual ( https://flow-ipc.github.io/doc/flow-ipc/versions/main/genera... ) gets into the topic of safety (with a few words on how this differs from secu

I think that (whether a native-struct versus a capnp schema-based struct = helps/how much) is a general question of what kind of serialization is best for a particular use-case. I wouldn't want to litigate that here fully. Persona

Whoa (again), super-cool, appreciate that.

1. You’re welcome! 2. I too would like to explore other developments - not that I think C++ sucks or anything (not that I don’t think it doesn’t suck sometimes!) - Rust and all. Here’s hoping 3. At points during development of this, the ol’

(Akamai owns Linode and uses the blog on Linode.com as a developer-oriented blog. So that’s why the link is to there.)

Whoa. I’m the lead developer on this - I got to this post totally by accident: was googling for my own Show HN post about this from a couple days ago - and it took me here without my noticing. There’s some discussion on it in Show HN, and o

You’re welcome. But I must tell you, at work I asked how my answers are, keep me honest. So a coworker looked at this thread and was just like, “dude just get to the point, no one wants to read all that.” And then explained that in huge det

Versus iceoryx (the C++ version, not the Rust-oriented iceoryx2): TL;DR: So far, it looks super-sweet (as well as mature, already supporting macOS for example). However more of an investment to use than is Flow-IPC, with a central daemon an

Appreciate your time! And, naturally, this was the question I expected to pop up once I was able to work through everything required internally here at Akamai to actually put this guy out in public. Wouldn't it be sad :-( if the same t

Indeed, examples from every angle are probably the one deficit of the existing documentation. There are a couple, such as the perf_demo described in the blog post. I’d like to add ones showing integration with - epoll based event loop - boo

It's so hard to communicate this stuff in writing! There are several angles of potential interest; I wish I could simply chat in-person with anyone curious, you know? Of course that is impossible. (I'll do my best here at HN and t
