Hi,Robert Ramey.I come back,when I discover about the boost::variant,I find
it cannot satisfy my request.
And finally I use vector to solve it,with the thinking that vector can store
memory.Cheers!

That's what I want to share,and maybe it's helpful to someone who want to
store a sequence raw data with serialization.

I create a vector like: 

Engine::Uint8Vector dataVec((sizeof(type) /
sizeof(Engine::Uint8Vector::value_type)) * indexCount);

and then when I need the data to read or modify,just :

type * data = reinterpret_cast<type *>(dataVec.data());  
p.s:Sorry for using reinterpret_cast,but I cannot have a better idea here.

It solved what I need.Maybe it's a so simple method,but it's useful. :)

Thanks again for this great lib.

Harry
