class Serializer
Interface class for Serializer instances.
Subclassed by gpa::serialization::NetworkSerializer
Public Functions
-
virtual ~Serializer()
-
virtual size_t Write(void const *data, size_t nBytes) = 0
Write data to any underlying storage or transport.
- Parameters
data -- Pointer to data bytes to be written
nBytes -- Number of bytes to write
- Returns
Number of bytes actually written
-
virtual size_t Read(void *data, size_t nBytes) = 0
Read data from any underlying storage or transport.
- Parameters
data -- Buffer to receive data bytes
nBytes -- Length of receive buffer, in bytes
- Returns
NUmber of bytes actually read
-
virtual size_t Consume(size_t nBytes) = 0
Consume data from any underlying storage or transport.
Note
This method is functionally identical to Read(), without a receive buffer needed; it can be used to "skip over" a certain number of bytes of input during deserialization.
- Parameters
nBytes -- Number of bytes to consume
- Returns
Number of bytes actually consumed
