Thanks for the explanation on the interaction between schema evolution and
copying structures, that makes sense.
It may not be a common requirement to want to copy over the entire request
structure, rather than just initialise a member from an existing reader.
For the moment, I only care about
I see. There isn't a great API for this right now. The problem is, once a
struct Builder is already allocated, the struct can't be resized. But if
you're trying to copy the content of another struct into it, it's possible
that other struct was originally created with a newer version of the schema

Ah, I figured out that I can use the layered API to decode each item in the
list individually:
Bar::Client cap;
kj::ArrayPtr text;
capnp::MallocMessageBuilder mb;
capnp::JsonCodec codec;
kj::ArrayBuilder> promises;
auto value = mb.initRoot();
codec.decodeRaw(text, val
That's not quite what I want to do. Given that a request is a struct type,
I want to copy or assign an existing struct to the whole request.
I can use the json decoder to write content into the request struct, but I
don't see a way to do that when I'm holding an orphan pointer to a struct
that
Hi Vaci,
An RPC request is always a struct type, not a list, so I assume what you
really mean here is that you want to use the list as a field of the
request? E.g. you have:
struct Foo {}
interface Bar {
foo @0 (foos :List(Foo));
}
Then you would do:
auto req = bar.fooRequest();
auto orpha
