Are you talking about Wayland messages between the client and compositor?<br>
<br>
I don't understand why you need to identify fd's in unknown message in order to skip them. Isn't there a total length of the message and the fd's are just embedded in this block of bytes?<br>
<br>
I'm probably missing something here, sorry if this is a stupid question. It sounds like the client is required to do something with every fd found in a message, whether they understood it or not, but that has to be wrong!<div>

Hello,<br>
<br>
I think I can do the second point in the TODO file:<br>
<br>
The message format has to include information about number of fds<br>
in the message so we can skip a message correctly. Or we should<br>
just give up on trying to recover from unknown messages. We need<br>
to make sure you never get a message from an interface you don't<br>
know about (using per-client id space and subscribe) or include<br>
information on number of fds, so marshalling logic can skip.<br>
