Public Functions

const std::string &serialize(const Serializable &serializable)

serialize an (almost) arbitrary instance to a string.

The method uses cereal internally and the instance must implement a serialize function. See for details: https://uscilab.github.io/cereal/ Supplementary requirements:

  • Serializable must also have a default constructor.

  • All instances of Serializable must be of the same size. (e.g. vectors must be of fixed size) The generated and returned string is a private member of the Serializer instance. Successive calls to serialize overwrite this string.

Parameters:

instance – to serialize to a string

void deserialize(const std::string &data, Serializable &serializable)

Restore the instance of serializable based on the string data, which should have been generated via the serialize function.

Parameters:

  • the – serialized instance

  • instance – of Serializable to be restored

Public Static Functions

static int serializable_size()

Returns the serialized size (i.e.

the size of the string) of an instance of Serializable
