chrono::ChStreamOutBinary Class Reference

Description

This is a base class for all BINARY OUTPUT streams, in a way such that the stream is platform independent (see the 'little endian' stuff in 'floating point to persistent data' topics..) Defines some << operators from basic types, converting all them into calls to the Output() function.

At least some inherited class should be used by the user in order to get some practical effect (file saving, etc.)

Member Function Documentation

◆ AbstractWrite()

template<class t >
t* chrono::ChStreamOutBinary::AbstractWrite ( t *  pObj)
inline

Stores an object, given the pointer, into the archive.

This function can be used to serialize objects from nontrivial class trees, where at load time one may wonder which was the class type of the saved object. Note: the object must be load with ChStreamInBinary::AbstractReadCreate() Also, the AbstractWrite()-AbstractReadCreate() mechanism avoids storing/creating multiple times the shared objects. Supports only objects with Chrono RTTI and serializer member StreamOUT(). OBSOLETE use ChArchive << operator

◆ AbstractWriteAll()

template<class t >
t* chrono::ChStreamOutBinary::AbstractWriteAll ( t *  pObj)
inline

Stores an object, given the pointer, into the archive.

This function can be used to serialize objects from nontrivial class trees, where at load time one may wonder which was the class type of the saved object. Note: the object must be load with ChStreamInBinary::AbstractReadCreate() Also, the AbstractWrite()-AbstractReadCreate() mechanism avoids storing/creating multiple times the shared objects. Supports only objects with Chrono RTTI and serializer member StreamOUT(). OBSOLETE use ChArchive << operator

◆ GenericBinaryOutput()

template<class T >
void chrono::ChStreamOutBinary::GenericBinaryOutput ( T &  ogg)
inline

Generic operator for binary streaming of generic objects.

WARNING!!! raw byte streaming! If class 'T' contains double, int, long, etc, these may give problems when loading on another platform which has big-endian ordering, if generated on a little-endian platform...

◆ operator<<()

ChStreamOutBinary & chrono::ChStreamOutBinary::operator<< ( char  Val)

Specialized operators for basic primitives (numbers like long, double, int.

etc., and booleans) Handle byte ordering issues in little.endian/big.endian representations, for cross platform portability.
