Detailed Description

Virtual base class for "archives": classes abstracting I/O streams.

This class separates the implementation details of serialization (in CSerializable) and data storage (CArchive children: files, sockets,...).

Two main sets of implementations are provided:

archiveFrom: for MRPT mrpt::io::CArchive objects, and
CArchiveStdIStream and CArchiveStdOStream: for std::istream and std::ostream, respectively.

ptr	A pointer to the first output element in an array (or std::vector<>, etc...).

Returns: The amound of bytes (not elements) actually read (under error situations, the last element may be invalid if the data stream abruptly ends). Example of usage:

◆ ReadPOD()

template<typename T >

T mrpt::serialization::CArchive::ReadPOD ( )

Useful when stream >> var; cannot be used becuase of errors of misaligned reference binding. Use with macro MRPT_READ_POD to avoid typing the type T yourself.

Note: [New in MRPT 2.0.0]; Write operator s << var; is safe for misaligned variables.

◆ ReadVariant()

template<typename... T>

std::variant<T...> mrpt::serialization::CArchive::ReadVariant ( )

To be compatible with the current polymorphic system this support smart pointer types. For pointer types, This will bind to the first possible pointer type. variant<CSerializable::Ptr, CRenderizable::Ptr>

Exceptions

std::exception	On I/O error or undefined class.
CExceptionEOF	On an End-Of-File condition found at a correct place: an EOF that abruptly finishes in the middle of one object raises a plain std::exception instead.
