Hello,
I just have a question. On 10.5, the bootstrap_register() doc said
this method should not longer be used and give some alternatives like
this one:
2) If the code was registering a dynamically generated string and
passing
the string to other applications, please rewrite the code to send a
Mach
send-right directly.
My question is simple. To send the Mach send right, I need a send
right to the target process. But to get a send right from the target
process, it need a send right on the first process.
That's why the bootstrap server exists.
Maybe I miss something, but I do not understand how I can upgrade an
app that was using the scenarios describe in 2).
Is there some magic way to give a send right to another process ?
AFAK, even passing an arbitrary port to a child process is not possible.
