Persistence for Arbitrary C++ Data Structures

  • Conference paper
Security and Persistence

Part of the book series: Workshops in Computing ((WORKSHOPS COMP.))

Abstract

This paper presents an external representation that may be automatically generated from arbitrary C++ data structures. This representation can be used to achieve persistence in various applications. We describe the existing facilities for persistence in the EDGE graph editor. A similar technique can be used to achieve persistence in general. In addition to generating code for an external representation, a menu-controlled data structure editor for arbitrary C++ classes may be generated using the same technique.
