Detailed Description

A lightweight serializer for networked physics.

This class removes the type safety of cugl::netcode::NetcodeSerializer, and requires that the user know the type of the data. However, it is a more space efficient serializer, and is more appropriate for networked physics.

This class is to be paired with LWDeserializer for deserialization.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

LWSerializer()

cugl::physics2::distrib::LWSerializer::LWSerializer ( )

inline

Creates a new LWSerializer on the stack.

Serializers do not have any nontrivial state and so it is unnecessary to use an init method. However, we do include a static alloc method for creating shared pointers.

Member Function Documentation

alloc()

static std::shared_ptr< LWSerializer > cugl::physics2::distrib::LWSerializer::alloc ( )

inlinestatic

Returns a newly allocated LWSerializer.

This method is solely include for convenience purposes.

Returns

a newly allocated LWSerializer.

reset()

void cugl::physics2::distrib::LWSerializer::reset ( )

inline

Clears the input buffer.

Note that this will make previous serialize() returns invalid.

rewriteFirstUint32()

void cugl::physics2::distrib::LWSerializer::rewriteFirstUint32 ( Uint32  i )

inline

Rewrites the first four bytes of the buffer with the given Uint32.

This method requires that the input buffer has at least four bytes. It can be used to add header information once a payload has been constructed.

Parameters

i	The new header

serialize()

const std::vector< std::byte > & cugl::physics2::distrib::LWSerializer::serialize ( )

inline

Returns the serialized data.

Returns

A const reference to the serialized data. (Will be lost if reset)

writeBool()

void cugl::physics2::distrib::LWSerializer::writeBool ( bool  b )

inline

Writes a single boolean value to the buffer.

Values will be deserialized on other machines in the same order they were written in.

Parameters

b	The value to write

writeByte()

void cugl::physics2::distrib::LWSerializer::writeByte ( std::byte  b )

inline

Writes a single byte value to the buffer.

Values will be deserialized on other machines in the same order they were written in.

Parameters

b	The value to write

writeByteVector()

void cugl::physics2::distrib::LWSerializer::writeByteVector ( const std::vector< std::byte > &  v )

inline

Writes a byte vector to the buffer.

Values will be deserialized on other machines in the same order they were written in.

Parameters

v	The byte vector to write

writeFloat()

void cugl::physics2::distrib::LWSerializer::writeFloat ( float  f )

inline

Writes a single float value to the input buffer.

Values will be deserialized on other machines in the same order they were written in.

Parameters

f	The float to write

writeSint32()

void cugl::physics2::distrib::LWSerializer::writeSint32 ( Sint32  i )

inline

Writes a signed 32-bit integer to the input buffer.

Values will be deserialized on other machines in the same order they were written in.

Parameters

i	The Sint32 to write

writeUint16()

void cugl::physics2::distrib::LWSerializer::writeUint16 ( Uint16  i )

inline

Writes an unsigned 16-bit integer to the input buffer.

Values will be deserialized on other machines in the same order they were written in.

Parameters

i	The Uint16 to write

writeUint32()

void cugl::physics2::distrib::LWSerializer::writeUint32 ( Uint32  i )

inline

Writes a unsigned 32-bit integer to the input buffer.

Values will be deserialized on other machines in the same order they were written in.

Parameters

i	the unsigned Uint32 to write

writeUint64()

void cugl::physics2::distrib::LWSerializer::writeUint64 ( Uint64  i )

inline

Writes a unsigned 64-bit integer to the input buffer.

Values will be deserialized on other machines in the same order they were written in.

Parameters

i	the unsigned Uint64 to write
