Re: [capnproto] Cap'nproto C language implementation status

[Kenton Varda]

Hi Tamir,

Sorry for the slow response, your e-mail for some reason landed in my spam folder.

The links you provided seem to be older forks of c-capnproto, found here:

    https://github.com/opensourcerouting/c-capnproto

However, that version has also been idle for 2 years.

There's no reason to think that the code won't work anymore -- Cap'n Proto changes are designed to be backwards-compatible. However, it might not support features added in the last few releases. Also, it looks like a security warning was added recently saying that the library does no bounds checking... that's pretty disappointing. :/

It would be cool to see someone revive this work or create a new C implementation.

Hi,

I've seen that the C language implementation solutions aren't maintained for at least 3 years (https://git-us.netdef.org/projects/OSR/repos/c-capnproto/browse, https://github.com/mikegarts/c-capnproto-1).

Any reason to think they are usable? I was thinking of starting a new one or try to revive and existing C implementation.

Like to hear if you think it's worth the effort.

Thanks!
