Charm++ parallel programming system

[Nicolas Bock <nicolasbock AT gmail.com>]

Hi,

suppose I use the foo class as in the example code in chapter 6 and I include an instance of it as a field in a chare. Since foo defines pup(), the chare can be migrated.

Now suppose I would like to send the foo instance to some other chare. I could write a CMessage and define pack(), unpack(), and alloc(), but it seems that since foo already defines pup(), there should be a much simpler way.

To make this more concrete, I would like to do something like the following:

class Bar : public CBase_Bar {

  private:

    foo myFoo;

  public:

    foo getFoo (void);

};

class Flo : public CBase_Flo {

  private:

    CProxy_Bar bar;

  public:

    void work (void) {

      foo theFoo = bar.getFoo();

    }

};

Thanks already,

nick
