The following works fine. This is just a small suggestion. IMHO it is very nice if I can serialize object (as binary, text or xml) through the socket, isn't it?
This is indeed an important application. But the serialization library is not the place to implement it !!! The serialization library depends upon the underlying streambuf (member of ?stream) to implement any actual i/o - it is here that the connection to sockets or special buffering should be made. In short
?socket_ostream os("name of socket, pipe or whatever")"
{ xml_archive oa(os); for(;;){ oa << ....; os.flush(); // send object to socket } }
Ok, I understand it. It is good solution, thanks.
Look in to makeing a custom stream buffer for your purposes. Investigate the iostreams library for this purpose.
Ok. Best regards. -- |\/\/| Seweryn Habdank-Wojewódzki `\/\/
