Hi,
Please does anyone have any experience with passing complete variables
between two independent octave processes (not parent/child via popen)?
The transport channel is easy - sockets, zeromq etc. I assume for
serialization I could use the 'save' function:
bitstream = save('-', 'variable')
But I was not able to find a simple way to deserialize contents of the
'bitstream' variable back to 'variable'. The 'load' function does not
accept input from a variable (as far as I understand the documentation),
only from a real file.
Actually, I would love to use a sequence of plain files but several
messages must be sent every second and SSD drives do not like this
constant create/delete file load. Creating a RAM drive would work but I
need a multiplatform solution (linux, windows) and creating the
platform-specific RAM drive would overcomplicate the project deployment.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions, experience, etc.
Best regards,
Pavel.

Using named pipes you can save Octave variables using 'save' in one process and load Octave variables in another process using 'load'. And/or maybe 'fwrite' and 'fread' preceded by 'fopen'.
Named pipes also exist in Windows.
