Binary Object Serialization with Data Structure Traversal & Reconstruction in C++ - Chris Ryan - CppCon 2022
https://github.com/CppCon/CppCon2022
This talk will describe a minimally intrusive technique to add serialization to a set of classes, traversing hierarchical and non-hierarchical data, persisting in a binary format and dynamic reconstruction
When storing, it can deduce the data types using Template Argument Deduction (TAD) and safely protects against recursive reentrancy.
When loading, it uses a reflection type technique for dynamic object creation using an automatic serializable type registration mechanism.
Reflection as a language feature will be unavailable until at least C++26. This serialization technique can dynamically recreate a persisted complex data structure/structure network. This is a platform agnostic technique.
Not everybody is yet able to migrate to C++20, so this is using a C++14 compliant SFINAE/std::enable_if＜＞ mechanism. We will also explore optimizations and what it takes to convert this technique to use C++20 concepts.
The serialized data can be persisted to a disk file, shared memory for IPC or using network streams for live remote data sharing like HPC or gaming.
This is not trying to sell you on the use of the library but rather sharing metacppcon.digital-medium.co.uk/tag/programming/">programming techniques you can add to your toolbox.
