Yes, that would be possible. It may imply a similar amount of book-keeping to sending caps sequentially, though, because you may need to allocate this cap storage every time. Depends a lot on the application.

However if in practice the number is always 1, 2 or 3
I understand that there is a pragmatic choice to be made. And obviously I don't have a leg to stand on since (a) I do not contribute to the project, (b) nor do I even use the project! So this is one of those, "somebody is wrong on the Internet" kind of bike-shedding true-scotsman type nit picking threads on my part. Still... so far I haven't liked the wording used. I mean, how can anybody know what the "in practice" number "always" is? It seemed like /one person/ mentioned their one use case, and the magic value that they personally like/need. That doesn't seem to be anywhere near, "is always" to me. What if I decided tomorrow *I* need 7? Or even what if the person who said 6 comes back in a month and says, "oh, golly, did I say 6? I really meant to say 12." Yes, there is some amount of reductio ad absurdum involved ;-). But the way I have read the messages here it is as if God told us 6 is the right number. :-) I'll do my best to shut up now :-) :-) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@sel4.systems<mailto:Devel@sel4.systems> https://sel4.systems/lists/listinfo/devel _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@sel4.systems<mailto:Devel@sel4.systems> https://sel4.systems/lists/listinfo/devel ________________________________ The information in this e-mail may be confidential and subject to legal professional privilege and/or copyright.
