I am interested in implementing a programming/runtime environment which
allows compiled "objects", which can be viewed as executables, to access
other such objects through a standard methodology.  It would be a peer-to-peer
type of access.

I was wondering if any of the dynamic linking methods used in Unix-like
shared libraries (or even other OS's) will be useful.

I was also wondering if the way applications in user-space invoke system-level
functions in Real operating systems could be used to invoke such "message
passing".

Is there a way to do this in user-space?  Or must it be a whole OS?

Please reply via email.
