Message Pointer Alignment

[Eshnek]

Hello!

I am serializing binary data across the network using uWebSockets and a serialization library.

In the message callback, the std::string_view is aligned according to a MESSAGE_HEADER offset. This offset differs from what the serialization library expects, and thus causes one of its internal checks to fail.

I can copy the data before deserializing to get an offset it likes, but I was wondering if there is an easier way to avoid this extra copy?

There is no guarantee of alignment, not even to MESSAGE_HEADER.
