Detailed Description

Binary serialization context class.

This class is used to register reference values and write object and object extra data during serialization. It is mainly used by the serialization framework. Except for custom serializable types, users should not have to worry about it.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void PxSerializationContext::alignData ( PxU32  alignment = PX_SERIAL_ALIGN )

pure virtual

Aligns the serialized data.

This function is assumed to be called within the implementation of PxSerializer::exportData and PxSerializer::exportExtraData.

PxSerializer::exportData, PxSerializer::exportExtraData, PxDeserializationContext::alignExtraData

virtual const PxCollection& PxSerializationContext::getCollection ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the collection that is being serialized.

virtual void PxSerializationContext::registerReference ( PxBase &  base, PxU32  kind, size_t  reference  )

pure virtual

Registers a reference value corresponding to a PxBase object.

This method is assumed to be called in the implementation of PxSerializer::registerReferences for serialized references that need to be resolved on deserialization.

A reference needs to be associated with exactly one PxBase object in either the collection or the external references collection.

Different kinds of references are supported and need to be specified. In the most common case (PX_SERIAL_REF_KIND_PXBASE) the PxBase object matches the reference value (which is the pointer to the PxBase object). Integer references maybe registered as well (used for internal material indices with PX_SERIAL_REF_KIND_MATERIAL_IDX). Other kinds could be added with the restriction that for pointer types the kind value needs to be marked with the PX_SERIAL_REF_KIND_PTR_TYPE_BIT.

Parameters

[in]	base	PxBase object associated with the reference
[in]	kind	What kind of reference this is (PX_SERIAL_REF_KIND_PXBASE, PX_SERIAL_REF_KIND_MATERIAL_IDX or custom kind)
[in]	reference	Value of reference

virtual void PxSerializationContext::writeData ( const void *  data, PxU32  size  )

pure virtual

Serializes object data and object extra data.

This function is assumed to be called within the implementation of PxSerializer::exportData and PxSerializer::exportExtraData.

virtual void PxSerializationContext::writeName ( const char *  name )

pure virtual

Helper function to write a name to the extraData if serialization is configured to save names.

This function is assumed to be called within the implementation of PxSerializer::exportExtraData.
