Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ConcreteBinaryDeserializer() [1/3]

ConcreteBinaryDeserializer ( typename BinaryStream::streambuffer_pointer  buffer)
inline

Create a new binary deserializer based on the specified stream buffer object.

The stream buffer object must be specified as pointer. If you use this class with BinaryStlIstream, then the stream buffer object must be of the type std::basic_streambuf<_CharT, _Traits> (see corresponding documentation of STL streams). If you use this class with BinaryBufferIstream, the stream buffer object must be of the type std::vector<char>.

Note
: The stream buffer object must exist as long as the deserializer is used.

◆ ConcreteBinaryDeserializer() [2/3]

ConcreteBinaryDeserializer ( BinaryStream &  stream)
inline

Create a new binary deserializer and read the data from the specified binary stream.

Note
: The stream object must exist as long as the deserializer is used.

◆ ConcreteBinaryDeserializer() [3/3]

ConcreteBinaryDeserializer ( BinaryStream &  stream,
typename BinaryStream::pos_type  pos 
)
inline

Create a new binary deserializer and read the data from the specified binary stream, starting at the specified position.

Can be used to continue reading from the stream when data was read from it before.

Note
: The stream object must exist as long as the deserializer is used.

Member Function Documentation

◆ reassign()

void reassign ( typename BinaryStream::streambuffer_pointer  buffer)
inline

Reassigns the specified stream buffer to this deserializer.

The stream buffer usually is specified in the constructor. This method can be used to change the assigned buffer.

◆ streamPosition()

BinaryStream::pos_type streamPosition ( )
inline

◆ deserialize() [1/2]

void deserialize ( T &  value,
bool  enableTypeCheck = true,
bool  recursive = false 
)
inline

Provides a special deserialize interface for the BinaryDeserializer.

It allows to skip the name, since the name is not used by the binary serializer. Instead an optional second parameter is provided that allows to enable an automatic type check. If the type check is enabled the deserializer will read the full typename from the stream before serializing the content. If the types do not match, an XBadCast exception is thrown. If the type check is enabled here, it also must be enabled in the corresponding serialize() call of the BinarySerializer and vice versa. recursive must only be set to true if called from within checkFormatVersion (e.g. of a different version serializer).

void pointer ( T *&  pointer)
inline

Overwrites Deserializer::pointer.

Reads the 1-byte marker to identify the type of the pointer: NULL_POINTER =0, POINTER_REFERENCE =1, NORMAL_POINTER =2, POLYMORPHIC_POINTER =3

If it is null pointer the pointer is set to NULL, if it is a reference then it reads the id string that was stored by the Serializer in pointerReference(). If it is a PolymorphicPointer it reads the class type and calls the pointer() method of the Deserializer base class to deserialize the full object. Otherwise if it is a normal pointer it calls the pointer() method of the Deserializer base class to deserialize the full object.

◆ invokeOverwrite() [1/2]

void invokeOverwrite ( T &  object)
inline

◆ invokeOverwrite() [2/2]

void invokeOverwrite ( serialization::PlainArray< T > &  array)
inline

Specialized for Array to implement an optimized variant for deserializing an array, if possible (i.e.

if object tracking is enabled and each value in the array can be serialized bitwise).

◆ read()

void read ( T *  data,
std::size_t  count 
)
inline

◆ hasCodec()

bool hasCodec ( ) const
inline

Supported for compatibility with BinarySerializer in a common reflect method.

Always returns false for deserializers.

◆ codec()

bool codec ( T &  obj)
inline

Decodes the specified object from the serialized data.

If no codec was used to serialize the data, false is returned, and the caller must deserialize the data manually without codec. If no codec for decoding the data exists, an exception is thrown.

◆ getCodecs()

const CodecsMap& getCodecs ( ) const
inline

Return the map of currently known codecs.

◆ setCodecs()

void setCodecs ( const CodecsMap codecs)
inline

Set the map of known codecs.

◆ version() [3/6]

VersionType version ( VersionType  version,
const T *  caller = NULL 
)
inlineinherited

◆ version() [4/6]

VersionType version ( VersionType  version,
AcceptDesiredVersion  ,
const T *  caller = NULL 
)
inlineinherited

◆ version() [5/6]

VersionType version ( VersionType  version,
const T *  caller = NULL 
)
inlineinherited

Specifies the current class version and returns the version found in the data stream.

During serialization (read-only reflector), the specified version usually is stored as class version in the data stream. However, the serialized version can be overridden by setting a specific version for a certain class identifier, using desireClassVersions(). In that case, version() may return a different value than specified, and the class' reflect() method must implement reflection according to that version number. During deserialization (write-only reflector), the reflector reads the version found in the data stream and returns it. Providing the type of the caller enables defining separate version numbers for all base classes of an inherited type. Each class in the inheritance hierarchy can store and retrieve a version number independently of all its bases or sub-classes (assuming reflect() calls the reflect() method of the base class using reflectBase()). The type of the caller is also required to look up whether a specific version is desired (see desireClassVersions()). The sole purpose of the 'caller' parameter is to enable automatic deduction of the template parameter T. It can be omitted when T is given explicitly.

Usage:

template<typename Reflector>
void reflect(Reflector& r)
{
VersionType v = r.version(3, this); // specifies current version 3
// in serialization case, normally returns v=3, unless
// configured differently using desireClassVersions()
// in deserialization case, returns the version read from serialized data
// (or throws XIO if that is higher than 3, i.e. incompatible)
r.member("X", x, "");
if (version >= 2)
r.member("X2", x2, "");
if (version == 3)
...
}
Note
Specifying versions for serialized classes is optional.
requireVersion() and version() currently are supported by serialization reflectors only

◆ version() [6/6]

void popObjectTrackingStore ( )
inlineinherited

◆ resolveReference() [1/2]

T* resolveReference ( int  objectId)
inlineprotectedinherited

Resolves a pointer reference to a previously stored object with the specified full id.

This is usually called by the derived concrete deserializer that has implemented the pointer() method where it detects a stored pointer reference. Instead of calling the pointer() method of this base class it then has to call this method to resolve the pointer reference. If no object with the given ID exits, an exception is thrown.

◆ resolveReference() [2/2]

T* resolveReference ( const std::string &  fullId)
inlineprotectedinherited

Same as the above method, but here the object id can be specified as full human readable id.

Note
Can only be used for Reflectors that support human readable IDs, otherwise an exception is thrown.

◆ enumeration()

void enumeration ( T &  member)
inlineinherited

Is called by the if the member is an enumeration.

(Type A2)

As for all the other visit-methods the parameter is a reference to the actual visited/reflected member.

The default implementation casts the enum to an uint32 and calls atomic().

◆ object()

void object ( T &  member)
inlineinherited

Is called for each complex object.

See documentation of RecursiveMemberReflectorBase class for detailed calling sequences. If you overwrite this method in a derived class you should call the method of the Base class to allow recursive reflection of the complex object's members.

◆ collection()

void collection ( T &  member)
inlineinherited

Is called for each complex object or array, where the IsCollection<T> trait is true_type.

The default implementation calls object().

◆ registerClass()

static void registerClass ( )
inlinestaticinherited

Registers a new polymorphic class at the PolymorphPointerReflector.

Each RecursiveMemberReflector only is able to process pointers to polymorphic classes that are registered using this method.

The MIRA_CLASS_SERIALIZATION macro provides a simple mechanism to register a class in all known MemberReflectors and calls their registerClass() method. If you implement a new MemberReflector you should modify the MIRA_CLASS_SERIALIZATION macro and add your reflector there.

inlinestaticinherited

Unregisters the class.

The MIRA_CLASS_SERIALIZATION macro provides a simple mechanism to register a class in all known MemberReflectors and calls their registerClass() method. If you implement a new MemberReflector you should modify the MIRA_CLASS_SERIALIZATION macro and add your reflector there.

inlineinherited

Returns the meta-information of the current member that is reflected.

◆ getCurrentMemberFullID()

const std::string& getCurrentMemberFullID ( ) const
inlineinherited

Returns the full human readable object id / name of the current member being reflected.

This method must not be called if the Reflector has set useHumanReadableIDs to false. If it is called anyway we will assert here.

◆ isReflectedAsPointer()

Detect the members type (A1,A2,A3,B1,B2,C) and choose the appropriate function.

◆ invokeMember()

void invokeMember ( T &  member,
const ReflectMemberMeta meta 
)
inlineinherited

Is called to invoke this Reflector on the member with the specified meta information.

This method delegates the call to the most derived invokeMemberOverwrite() method that may be overwritten in subclasses.

Note
Usually, the RecursiveMemberReflector should be invoked using this invokeMember() method instead of the invoke() method of the ReflectorInterface base class. The invoke() method is called internally by the RecursiveMemberReflector.

◆ invokeMemberOverwrite()

void invokeMemberOverwrite ( T &  member,
const ReflectMemberMeta meta 
)
inlineinherited

The actual invokeMember implementation that is called from invokeMember().

This method may be overwritten in derived classes to add additional functionality, however, you should always call this implementation of the base class.

◆ invokePointerObject()

void invokePointerObject ( T &  member)
inlineinherited

Is called to reflect objects of pointers.

They will use the same meta as the pointer

◆ invokeMemberWithoutDefault()

void invokeMemberWithoutDefault ( T &  member,
const ReflectMemberMeta meta 
)
inlineinherited

Delegates to invokeMember() and rethrows any occurring XMemberNotFound exception as XIO exception.

void invokeMemberWithDefault ( T &  member,
const ReflectMemberMeta meta,
const U &  defaultValue 
)
inlineinherited

Delegates to invokeMember() and handles any occurring XMemberNotFound exception by setting the member to the given default value.

◆ invokeMemberWithDefault() [2/2]

void invokeMemberWithDefault ( T &  member,
const ReflectMemberMeta meta,
const serialization::IgnoreMissing defaultValue 
)
inlineinherited

Delegates to invokeMember() and handles any occurring XMemberNotFound exception by ignoring the exception and hence the missing member, as indicated by IgnoreMissing as default value.

The value of the member remains unchanged.

◆ requireVersion() [1/8]

VersionType requireVersion ( VersionType  version,
VersionType  minVersion,
const T *  caller = NULL

◆ requireVersion() [4/8]

void requireVersion ( VersionType  requiredVersion,
AcceptDesiredVersion  ,
const T *  caller = NULL 
)
inlineinherited

implements ReflectorInterface (for documentation see ReflectorInterface)

◆ requireVersion() [5/8]

VersionType requireVersion ( VersionType  version,
VersionType  minVersion,
const T *  caller = NULL 
)
inlineinherited

Same as above, but allows to specify a minimum supported version, and throws XIO if the minimum version requirement is not met.

Calls version() internally.

Usage:

template<typename Reflector>
void reflect(Reflector& r)
{
VersionType v = r.requireVersion(4, 2, this); // specifies version 4,
// requires version 2 or higher
if(v==3) { // handle reading version 3
...
} else // only versions 2 or 4 remain
...
}
Note
Specifying versions for serialized classes is optional.
requireVersion() and version() currently are supported by serialization reflectors only

◆ requireVersion() [6/8]

void requireVersion ( VersionType  version,
const T *  caller = NULL 
)
inlineinherited

Specifies the current class version, which is also the minimum (and therefore only) version accepted (therefore, no need to return a version number).

See above.

◆ requireVersion() [7/8]

VersionType requireVersion ( VersionType  version,
VersionType  minVersion,
AcceptDesiredVersion  ,
const T *  caller = NULL 
)
inlineinherited

Extension of requireVersion() (see above), that additionally signals the reflector that the caller will properly handle a different version than the one it specifies itself.

◆ requireVersion() [8/8]

void requireVersion ( VersionType  version,
AcceptDesiredVersion  ,
const T *  caller = NULL 
)
inlineinherited

Extension of requireVersion() (see above), that additionally signals the reflector that the caller will properly handle a different version than it one it specifies itself.

◆ reflectBase()

void reflectBase ( Base &  base)
inlineinherited

implements ReflectorInterface (for documentation see ReflectorInterface)

◆ This()

ConcreteBinaryDeserializer< BinaryStream, BinaryFormatVersion > * This ( )
inlineprotectedinherited

"Curiously recurring template pattern" (CRTP).

Safely casts this into Derived. This is safe since when implementing derived class their type is passed as template parameter.

See Wikipedia for more details on CRTP if necessary!

◆ invoke()

void invoke ( T &  object)
inlineprotectedinherited

Invokes this reflector on the specified object.

This is like calling object.reflect(*this). However, this automatically examines if the class T contains a reflect method. In this case it calls the intrusive reflect method, otherwise it uses the non-intrusive reflect method.

◆ reflectComplexIntrusive()

void reflectComplexIntrusive ( T &  object)
inlineprotectedinherited

For classes with reflect method call their reflect method directly.

◆ reflectComplexNonintrusive()

void reflectComplexNonintrusive ( T &  object)
inlineprotectedinherited

For classes without reflect method, where we need to look somewhere else to get the information for visiting it.

To do so we call a global non-intrusive reflect-function which must be specialized for the visitor and the member type. This allows non-intrusive reflection. If the non-intrusive reflect method does not exist we will get a compiler error here!

◆ reflectMissing()

void reflectMissing ( T &  object)
inlineprotectedinherited

◆ desireClassVersions()

void desireClassVersions ( const ClassVersionMap versions)
inlineinherited

Historically, classes have just been defining their current version themselves during serialization (the case where an object exists and its state is read out and serialized), by calling Reflector::version() with the respective version number parameter.

Different versions of a class were only considered during deserialization (i.e. restoring an object state from serialized data). In some cases it may be desirable, however, to serialize a different version (naturally, this can not be a higher version than the class implementation knows, only lower). This is useful e.g. to ensure serializing data that is compatible with a certain other (older) implementation, thus it can be deserialized by another instance.

For such cases, a mechanism is provided to generally enable requesting a specific version for any class from the reflector. This involves providing a map of class types (type names) to version numbers to the reflector. When a class contained in the map calls version() in its reflect() method, the call shall return the version number from the version map instead of the version number indicated by the class implementation itself. The class serialization must then follow that returned version.

A call to this method will always overwrite any previous setting of desired versions, i.e. the map is not cumulative.

Note
Since this is an addition to the ReflectorInterface in MIRABase 1.9.0, it cannot be ensured that all existing classes supported by the MIRA serialization framework (i.e., all classes for which exists an intrusive or non-intrusive reflect() method) properly support this mechanism of external version selection for serialization. In order to allow the reflector to be sure the class understands and observes a different version returned to it (or otherwise make the reflector refrain from changing the version indicated by the class and issue a warning instead), variants of the above version()/requireVersion() methods are introduced which implicitly provide that confirmation when called. See below.

◆ roproperty() [1/3]

void roproperty ( const char *  name,
const T &  member,
const char *  comment,
PropertyHint &&  hint = PropertyHint(),
ReflectCtrlFlags  flags = REFLECT_CTRLFLAG_NONE 
)
inlineinherited

A property that just reflects a runtime state of the object and can be displayed but not altered.

◆ roproperty() [2/3]

void roproperty ( const char *  name,
const std::string &  id,
const T &  member,
const char *  comment,
PropertyHint &&  hint = PropertyHint(),
ReflectCtrlFlags  flags = REFLECT_CTRLFLAG_NONE 
)
inlineinherited

Same as above, with an extra parameter for specifying the id explicitly if it differs from name.

◆ roproperty() [3/3]

void roproperty ( const char *  name,
Getter< T >  getter,
const char *  comment,
PropertyHint &&  hint = PropertyHint(),
ReflectCtrlFlags  flags = REFLECT_CTRLFLAG_NONE 
)
inlineinherited

Same as above, with a special getter method for reading the member.

Getters and Setters

◆ itemName()

void itemName ( const std::string &  name)
inlineinherited

If the currently reflected object is an item within a collection, this allows to specify an explicit name for that item.

This currently is interpreted by the PropertySerializer only.

◆ interface()

void interface ( const char *  name)
inlineinherited

Indicates that the class implements the specified RPC interface.

If you indicate that your class implements the specified interface by calling this method in your reflect method, there is an implicit contract that your class provides all methods that are defined by that interface.
