If it's IPC, it's the same architecture (mostly; typically there's at most 3 local architectures). The receiver can always make right. If there's hidden remoting going on, the proxies can make things right.
- RandomThoughts3 2y ago> The receiver can always make right. Certainly but that’s hardly structs anymore. You are implicitly defining a binary format which is aligned on the sender memory layout then.
- cryptonector 2y agoIt's "structs" when the sender and receiver are using the same architecture, and if they're using the same int/long/pointer sizes then the only work to do is swabbing and pointer validation / fixups. That's a lot less work than is needed to do just about any encoding like protocol buffers, but it's not far from flat buffers and capnp.
