I think the way I'd do shared memory Cap'n Proto would be to have a large shared memory space mapped upfront, allocate/write each message within the space, and then signal to the other process "you can find a new message located at position X", "I am done with the message located at position Y", etc.
This has always been something I intended to implement, but so far it hasn't come up as a priority. Sending messages over a unix socket is easy and works well, so I'd recommend trying that first, and considering shared memory transport as a possible optimization later on. -Kenton On Sun, Jan 20, 2019 at 11:23 PM Omega Ishendra <omegaishen...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I know that communication between two processes can be done mainly using > two methods. > > 1.
