Orphans support

Open ghost opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

The c++ api has orphan support are there plans to adding it to the rust api? It seems like the only way to do a bottom-up building of a capn'proto message.

It would definitely be good for capnproto-rust to support orphans! I think the API will need to be somewhat different from the corresponding C++ API in order to satisfy the borrow checker, but I don't think there are any fundamental obstacles.

I'm not sure when I personally will have time to work on this. Perhaps you'd like to give it a shot?
