Hi Moritz, If you subclass capnp::MesasgeBuilder, you can define your own memory allocation.
However, I think other places in the library will allocate small amounts of heap memory here and there. Maybe you could allocate a little bit of static space (e.g. 1MB would probably be plenty) and turn it into a heap? Alternatively, there is a C implementation of Cap'n Proto which may work better for embedded use cases: https://github.com/opensourcerouting/c-capnproto -Kenton On Sat, Jul 22, 2017 at 5:37 AM, <moritz.ul...@posteo.de> wrote: > Hi, > > I would love to use Cap'n Proto in an embedded environment.
