digitalmars.D.learn - Binary serialization of a struct

reply Joseph <JE342 gmail.com> writes:
Are there any simple direct serialization libraries where I can 
mark elements of a class or struct that I want serialized with an 
attribute and it will take care of all the rest(including 
recursive structures, arrays, etc) then deserialize back in to 
the structs?

I want something straight forward without allot of plumbing on my 
end.

Have you checked Cerealed ? From the looks of it, it supports a 
 NoCereal attribute which does the opposite of what you're 
looking for. Not sure how it handles nested structs, but there 
are examples in the test/directory :

Cerealed is definitely my favourite library out there for binary 
serialization. High quality.

You may also take a look at 
https://github.com/sdegtiarev/persistentObject
This is small module for binary serialization.

only a single file .  can serialize/deserialize 
struct,class,array.

https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-d

is about as simple as it can get:

import std.file;
import msgpack;

struct S { int x; float y; string z; }

void main()
{
     S input = S(10, 25.5, "message");

     // serialize data
     ubyte[] inData = pack(input);

     // write data to a file
     write("file.dat", inData);

     // read data from a file
     ubyte[] outData = cast(ubyte[])read("file.dat");

     // unserialize the data
     S target = outData.unpack!S();

     // verify data is the same
     assert(target.x == input.x);
     assert(target.y == input.y);
     assert(target.z == input.z);
}

I can't unittest my 32-bit code:

$ MODEL=32 make -f posix.mak unittest

You should use size_t instead of ulong, but on 32bit you would have still
problem because you are trying assign 2^32 which is too big to hold in 32bi=
t
