outside of classes

[David Hysom]

All your docs -- at least the ones near the beginning -- show how to use cereal inside classes (structs). This does me no good: I need to use it for an STD object outside of a class. I'm sure this is simple, but your docs don't show how (that I could find).

thanks in advance, Dave

Does this help: http://uscilab.github.io/cereal/serialization_functions.html ?

Right at the top under "Types of Serialization Functions" it shows the "external" variants.

Best,

Niko

PS: Chances are there is builtin support for your STL type: http://uscilab.github.io/cereal/stl_support.html

Not sure exactly what you mean by "deal with an stl object the same way as you do your classes". For your own classes you can either use the internal or external variants. For other people’s classes you can only use the external variant.

But if it’s about serializing STL objects, you might not have to write any serialisers. Just include the corresponding header and you’re good to go: https://github.com/USCiLab/cereal/tree/master/include/cereal/types

I’m sure documentation patches or more concrete suggestions of where exactly you would have found which example useful are welcome, but I’m not a maintainer.

If it’s still unclear, best include an example of what exactly you are actually trying to do.

Best,

Niko

I just find it confusing why you don't show anything like that.

Anyway, thanks for your quick response.
