[serialization] Making a "new" primitive type
In a project using JUCE (http://www.rawmaterialsoftware.com) I want to serialize the juce::String, preferably so it's equivalent of serializing std::wstring. How would I go about doing a wrapper for it so boost::serialization can serialize it nicely? TIA /Rob
would need more details on the internals ? is your juice::String internally using char[] or std::(w)string? you have a choice or writing a un-intrusive or in-class serialization routines. can't reallly say anything more without knowing what juice::String exactly is. -ravi On Nov 13, 2007 7:40 PM, Robert Bielik <robert.bielik@xponaut.se> wrote:

Rather than me explaining, here is a pointer to the actual source files. The one I'm interested in serializing is in juce_String.h/cpp At row 1025 (of juce_String.h) you'll see the internal representation. /R
ok, this is going to sound like a lame excuse :| Tried to compile juce on my ubuntu setup ... failed - complaining about some alsa headers. However looking at the source, it looks like the class is able to share a buffer [insert pattern name here] (i.e. when the class is copied, the reference to the buffer is the same - its not a deep copy) ... you would need to be careful here not to de serialize into a class with refcount that is more than one; on initial inspection text->text seems to me like where the actual text is stored, so you could possibly use this for serializing, and I would suggest using the operator= function when de-serializing as it seems to encapsulate the functionality of maintaining unique references etc. was hoping to post a snippet for you but unfortunately it won't compile and I couldn't find the ?build-deps for juce? -ravi On Nov 13, 2007 8:11 PM, Robert Bielik <robert.bielik@xponaut.se> wrote:

You can config juce (juce_config.h) not to use ALSA. Maybe that'll make it go further...

Yes, would probably need to. Anyway I did a first attempt at making a wrapper for String that exposes the methods as needed by the deprecated implementation of boost/serialization/string.hpp (in the #if 0 clause), but I got a vector with items instead of a plain string in the output (using the xml oarchive) which is not what I wanted... :(
Is this not covered in the serialization documentation? YWIA Robert Ramey Robert Bielik wrote:
