[Please do not mail me a copy of your followup] boost-users@lists.boost.org spake the secret code <CAPi0pssMXAbNnpPVKof2RAuXZY=WD-81XoJR0dFSc7PqcBBocQ@mail.gmail.com> thusly:
For example, consider the following horrible code. Is there a "boost" way to do this kind of thing... (perhaps Spirit/Karma is the answer and I am just more out of touch than I imagine):
OK, this is starting to look more like a serialization problem. You have serialized objects into a binary representation on your input stream and you need to deserialize them from the stream into your data structure. Boost has a serialization library for this sort of thing, but I haven't used it myself. Does this look more like what you need? <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/libs/serialization/doc/index.html> -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://computergraphicsmuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!
