My “Way Too Generic Serializer”
I wrote a serializer for my engine that is extremely convenient and generic.
A piece of serialization code in the engine looks something like this:
class PlaceMode
{
public:
// ...
SERIALIZE_FUNCTION(1)
{
SERIALIZE_START();
if (version < 1) SERIALIZE_BASE(State);
else SERIALIZE_BASE(EditorState);
SERIALIZE(archetypeNames);
SERIALIZE(lastPosition);
SERIALIZE_END();
}
private:
std::vector<std::string> archetypeNames;
Vector4 lastPosition;
};
