Serialization

Modules
	Serialization of simple structs/classes without pointers or virtual functions.
	Non bitwise serializable objects
	Marshalling pointer types (e.g. items which are pointers)
	Automatic serialization of built-in types.

Classes
class	explicitly_serializable
	Specifies serialization category: explicit serialization via a "serialize" function. More...
class	bitwise_serializable
	simple structs/classes are bitwise serializable. More...
class	chunk< T, Allocator >
	Serialization of arrays with and without automatic memory handling. More...
class	serializer
	Handles serilialization of data-objects. More...

Macros

Detailed Description

There are three possible ways of setting up the serialization of your struct resp. class:

Macro Definition Documentation

CNC_BITWISE_SERIALIZABLE

#define CNC_BITWISE_SERIALIZABLE

(

T

)

Value:

static inline CnC::bitwise_serializable serializer_category( const T * ) { \
            return CnC::bitwise_serializable(); \
        }

Convenience macro for defining that a type should be treated as bitwise serializable:

CNC_POINTER_SERIALIZABLE

#define CNC_POINTER_SERIALIZABLE

(

T

)

Value:

namespace CnC {                                             \
        static inline void serialize( serializer & ser, T *& t ) {  \
            ser & chunk< T >(t, 1);                        \
        }                                                       \
    }

Convenience macro for declaring serializable pointers. The object being pointed to should be serializable.

Function Documentation

serializer_category()

explicitly_serializable CnC::serializer_category ( const T *  )

inline

General case: a type belongs to the category explicitly_serializable, unless there is a specialization of the function template "serializer_category" (see below).

    {
        return explicitly_serializable();
    }
