[Dorier, Matthieu]

Hi Philip,

Here is an example of how it's done in one of our services:

    Hello,
    
    I have a need to serialize a simple raw buffer (void * and length.) I’m looking at the “serializing complex data structures” page on the Margo documentation, and I want to make sure I’m doing this right. Should I be writing an hg_proc_* function that serializes the hg_size_t and uses hg_proc_raw to copy the buffer, or is there some existing hg_proc_* function I can leverage to encode/decode the buffer/length pair in a single call? It doesn’t look to me like hg_proc_raw can do this, since the length is copied by value.
    
    Thanks,
    Philip
