Hi there. :)

I'm working on a message passing system, to enable a program to be
divided into threads.

Right now the plan is to have the the regular main program flow,
and then a thread running that reads from the disk or network,
feeding this linked list:

https://github.com/morphex/smash_xml/blob/c7a6017a75021432dbdb52178800e15dd4bc0061/message.c

And when the EOF is found or stream closed, the is_last
value of the struct is set to 1.

Do you see any obvious problems with what in the code above?

Can the struct be initialized using calloc or do I have to initialize
everything to 0 myself?

-Morten
