Functions
template<typename T >
GAIA_NODISCARD uint32_t	gaia::ser::bytes (const T &data)
	Calculates how many bytes data would need when serialized via ser::save. Useful when a destination storage wants to reserve memory in advance.
template<typename Writer , typename T >
void	gaia::ser::save (Writer &writer, const T &data)
	Write data using Writer at compile-time.
template<typename Reader , typename T >
void	gaia::ser::load (Reader &reader, T &data)
	Read data using Reader at compile-time.

Detailed Description

Compile-time serialization entry points.

Uses static dispatch and concrete writer/reader types without a virtual interface. Best suited when the serializer type is known at compile time. This is a binary traversal API. JSON document I/O uses ser::ser_json.

bytes()

template<typename T >

GAIA_NODISCARD uint32_t gaia::ser::bytes

(

const T &

data

)

Calculates how many bytes data would need when serialized via ser::save. Useful when a destination storage wants to reserve memory in advance.

Template Parameters

T	Type to measure.

Parameters

data	Value whose serialized size is measured.

Returns

Number of bytes produced by serialization.

load()

template<typename Reader , typename T >

void gaia::ser::load	(	Reader &	reader,
		T &	data
	)

Read data using Reader at compile-time.

Template Parameters

Reader

Type of reader

Parameters

	reader	Reader used for deserialization
[out]	data	Data to deserialize

Warning

Reader has to implement a save function as follows: template <typename T> void load(T& arg);

save()

template<typename Writer , typename T >

void gaia::ser::save	(	Writer &	writer,
		const T &	data
	)

Write data using Writer at compile-time.

Template Parameters

Writer

Type of writer

Parameters

writer	Writer used for serialization
data	Data to serialize

Warning

Writer has to implement a save function as follows: template <typename T> void save(const T& arg);
