Messaging Queue API?

The message queue API takes pointers but not a "size" argument, so what is the intended method of IPC?

It's not intended to send arrays for instance. you rather send a pointer to a struct through it with all the neccessary information as member in it. Or even a simple data type like int to notify the other thread. This allows for a wide use of the API.

Interesting... this means that the sending party is forced to send always the exact same structure format, all the time, for a specific message; also, that the receiving end will assume that the data comes *always* in that same format, all of the time again... is this correct?

That really depends on you, it's a void pointer, it can point to anything, could encode RIFF chunks for all the library cares.

You felt it necessary to bump after 2 minutes? Learn a little patience, and don't do that again.

Energizer/ShadowSpace/ShadowMaster1229/CrystalSpark/awiiprogrammer/Irrlicht, why are you having a conversation with yourself? And why is this hundredth time you've chosen to amuse yourself like this ( [forum.wiibrew.org] )?

Ha, didn't even notice that. What an idiot.
