I think even if there will be nanomsg implementation in pure rust, that would probably require rust stdlib, which is usually not used for embedded purposes, right? > I been thinking about the problem and one of the questions I have is how to > transfer ownership of a pointer from one entity to another.

And semantics is just like you described. You can also use Arc<Vec<u8>> that allows to use that message in several places simultaneously (e.g. if you want publish-subscribe) -- Paul _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
