df308 / x9 Goto Github PK

Hi @df308,

Would it be possible to provide a Makefile in the root of the project to allow a proper compilation on at least:

1. Linux: I'm using Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 LTS
2. macOS: Ventura 13.2.1

I'm also interested to see the benchmark with a message size of 4-byte only.
Thanks

It will be great if you can add a simple code example on how to use it

Make it compile out of the box on windows/msvc would be nice

slightly similar to the custom allocator issue #5 - but still different:
it would be great, if user could optionally pass the memory pointer (of a shared memory) to use explicitly to some of the functions like x9_create_inbox()

not sure, but would hope, that this would support interprocess communication

I'm interested in integrating x9 in a project with soft real time constraints, and am also interested in tracking its memory use. Is custom allocator support something you have planned or are interested in implementing? If not, would you be open to merging PRs offering it? Any pointers / constraints that could affect this feature?

Currently there are 32 bytes used: 8 for the 'name' pointer and 24 for padding. Instead, perhaps you can define name as [], allocate it (inc. padding for alignment) as part of the allocation of x9_inbox_internal?
You'll save an allocation/de-allocation call, few bytes, but more importantly, they'll be close to each other (so name is not a pointer away to when you access it).
