Detailed Description

Base class for serializers.

Serializers allow data to be written to a stream in a platform independent format. The data can later be read from a serializer and the platform specific (internal) representation will be reconstructed. This allows the state of an object to be saved and later recovered even on a different platform with a different CPU architecture (endian-ness).

Todo:

Implement encoding of type information

Implement header put and get functions (like Java)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MCSerializer (  void *  impl  )  [protected]

Constructor for use by derived classes. The implementation pointer must be a MCSerializerBaseImpl derived class.
