I want to not only send those messages between threads, but also across the
network. Anything containing additional pointers would just make things more
complicated. Atm, I'm trying something like this (not entirely sure if
toMsgBasePtr() is safe):
type
QueueID* = distinct uint16
MsgBase* = object
previous: ptr[MsgBase]
sender*: QueueID
receiver*: QueueID
Msg*[T: not (ref|string|seq)] = object
base*: MsgBase
content*: T
converter toMsgBasePtr(msgPtr: ptr Msg): ptr MsgBase {.inline,
noSideEffect.} =
cast[ptr MsgBase](msgPtr)
