[comp.protocols.iso.dev-environ] Use of PEPY

brady@OSI.NCSL.NIST.GOV (Kevin Brady) (02/14/90)

     I am involved in a project that will  build  a  network
management  system  using the encoder/decoder of ISODE.  The
use of the CMIP/CMIS protocol is  required,  using  PEPY  to
create the structures and  encode/decode routines.





     The problem: PEPY creates structures with  pointers  to
other  structures  containing pointers and so on. We need to
pass a "message" between processes composed of these  struc-
tures.   To  accomplish  this over a socket leaves a "piece-
meal" approach as the only alternative for a bcopy. This  is
totally unacceptable, does anyone know of a way to have PEPY
generate "instances" rather than pointers??
