I'm trying to send a simple C struct by value in a message to a remote object, but can't get it to work. Is this a known bug or limitation in the DO system? Here's an example of the struct I'm sending:
struct _Msg {
int a_fill;
char name[64];
int b_fill;
};
The problem seems to be that the struct is not getting encoded properly in the sender. The encoded object description appears to be correct, and 'a_fill' and the first part of 'name' appears to be correct, but the remainder of the structure is garbage.
Define "first part of 'name'"?
If nothing else, you should probably perform byte swapping on those integer values... yes, Apple's Distributed Object's implementation currently only runs on PPC hardware, but who knows what the future may bring.
