Hello : In my message to a RT process I can pass a character, but when I pass a string (correctly saying a pointer to the string) -- I get a garbage on the RT side. This does not surprise me sine Linux and RT do not run in the same address space Here comes a question -- "How to pass a string to RT and from RT efficiently ?"
