serdes::formatter Struct Reference

a lambda function wrapper that can describe any serialization/deserialization formatting process. While it does use more overhead (because of the lambda), it also can describe any format process as manipulatable runtime data, which the other hard coded interfaces don't allow.

	the formatting function taking a packet process (and any captures) as instructions

Detailed Description

a lambda function wrapper that can describe any serialization/deserialization formatting process. While it does use more overhead (because of the lambda), it also can describe any format process as manipulatable runtime data, which the other hard coded interfaces don't allow.

Examples:

auto arrays[2] = {serdes::init_formatter(x), serdes::init_formatter(y)};
auto lvalue = serdes::init_formatter(x);
auto rvalue = serdes::init_formatter(123);
auto complex_object = serdes::init_formatter(serdes::bitpack(y, 16));
auto complex_object = serdes::init_formatter(serdes::bitpack(y, 16));
auto value_with_validation = serdes::init_formatter(x, [&]() { return x > 7 && y > 6; });
serdes::formatter complex_custom_process = {[&](serdes::packet &p){ p + x; }};

Examples:

09_runtime_edittable_formats.cpp, and 10_virtual_fields.cpp.
