Hi-
In the C++ API, is there an (easy) way to get the binary encoded message of
an AnyPointer field? Or a generic field? (If I understand, they're encoded
the same under the hood.) I don't think anyPointer->getAs<Data>() would
work, would it?
The background here is that I'm trying to write a generic proxy for
CapnProto messages using CapnProto RPC. Since I'm not re-compiling the
proxy itself, it cannot know the possible types for AnyPointer. Since
messages don't need any schema data to be traversed (though not
interpreted) correctly, this *should *be possible.
To be more concrete:
interface ProxyChannel {
send @0 (msg :AnyPointer);
recv @1 () -> (respMsg :AnyPointer);
}
I'm using :Data instead of :AnyPointer now, but that puts a unnecessary
burden on the clients.
