chrono::ChBinaryArchive Class Reference

Description

Base class for streams (either in or out) based on binary formats.

This class implements a basic functionality about platform-independent treatment of data (the big-endian/little-endian issue). Also this class implements functionality to avoid storing multiple times the same object (persistent data archive).

bool chrono::ChBinaryArchive::IsBigEndianMachine

(

)

Returns true if the machine where the code runs has big endian byte ordering, returns false otherwise.

int chrono::ChBinaryArchive::PutPointer

(

void *

object

)

Put a pointer in pointer vector, but only if it was not previously inserted.

Returns position of pointer if already existing, otherwise -1.
