Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MCMemSerializer (  bool  hasType  )

Construct a memory serializer. Information serialized to the mem serializer can be deserialized (one off) from the same mem serializer. Parameters: hasType  if true, on output, type information will be written with the data. If false, type information will not be written with the data. Type information allows serialized data to be read by applications which do not understand the format of the data. A mem serializer must specify the same value for hasType for both writing and reading.

MCMemSerializer (  MCSerializer &  ser  )

Construct a memory serializer from another serializer The next item in the input stream of the serializer must be an MCMemSerializer put onto the stream with put(). Parameters: ser  the serializer to read from.
