Endpoints _are_ capabilities, and general purpose capabilities in L4s can only be implemented reasonably using endpoints. Note that from what I heard the L4 people do not have fundamental objections against a copy operation, on the condition that it is "necessary". What is needed to convince them of necessity I don't know :) Thanks, Marcus _______________________________________________ L4-hurd mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/l4-hurd
