I have my CPP ORM pretty much working
(so that I can read data from the database and serialize it with boost serialize) in generic manner.
There is an issue however with 'Nulls' that possibly exist in the database.
I use underneath OTL c++ db library and it has a 'null indicator' like many db libraries do.
So if I see a value where null indicator is set to true, should I serialize it out and if yes -- is there something like 'NaN' for all the different value types defined?
What about using boost::optional to hold the value and serialize it ? IIRC serialization of empty optional should work properly. -- ___________________________________________ Joel Falcou - Assistant Professor PARALL Team - LRI - Universite Paris Sud XI Tel : (+33)1 69 15 66 35
