Re: [LAD] LAD] RT-Safe UI/Engine Decoupling using Functional

But you are right, with boost::bind you can _easily_ create functors that call preexisting functions (or member functions). And this is done via the address of the function.. And yeah, I think you are right about your assumption. For sending commands to another address space you don't get around serialization in some form, since you cannot just point the other process to the address of a function and tell it to run that function.. The different processes don't have this intricate knowledge of each other.. Now if C++ had some decent introspection calling a method in another process space might be more easily done (or rather: the serialization would become much simpler), but alas C++ lacks in that respect..
