Compatible with C++ spec v2?

[sgammon]

I'm curious if this package has yet adopted the v2 branch of capnproto upstream. Say you have a message you have created in C++, like:

// message = ... is a builder of some kind
VectorOutputStream stream;
capnp::MallocMessageBuilder builder;
builder.setRoot(message.asReader());
capnp::writeMessage(stream, builder.getSegmentsForOutput());
ArrayPtr<byte> p_bytes = stream.getArray();

And now, you take those p_bytes and transport them to Java, and read them. Is this supported? If so, is that the right way to do it?

The capnproto-c++ v2 branch may have breaking changes in its C++ API, but it does not change the wire protocol. So it might make the schema compiler plugin capnpc-java fail to compile (I haven't checked, but we can always stick to v1), but it won't make the generated java code nor the capnproto-java runtime obsolete.

Yes, you can put those bytes into an ArrayInputStream and then call Serialize.read() on it.

Thanks for the quick response, I'll give it a try.
