hi,
i want to binary write the fields of class to a file.Mainly i want to serialize only the public fields not the private ones or the functions....
class a
{
public:
int a;
int b;
protected:
void function1();
void function2();
private:
int c
}
use ofstream's write() method to write out each individual object, for example
ofstream out("filename");
out.write((char*)&a,sizeof(int));
out.write((char*)&b,sizeof(int));yes but if in a i had a string field??i would write::
out.write((char*)&str,sizeof(string));??????
strings are written to binary files exactly like they are to text files including the '\n' at the end to identify the end of the string.
so i would use out<<mystring<<endl?
so i would use out<<mystring<<endl?
Yes. Suggestion: write yourself a small test program that does nothing more than open a binary file for output, write some data to it, close the file, then open a binary file for input and read the data back in. That will teach you how binary files behave.
