14.6. Serialization

Dynamic Types have their own pubsub type like any class generated with an IDL, and their management is pretty similar to them.

DynamicType_ptr pType = DynamicTypeBuilderFactory::get_instance()->create_int32_type();
DynamicPubSubType pubsubType(pType);

// SERIALIZATION EXAMPLE
DynamicData* pData = DynamicDataFactory::get_instance()->create_data(pType);
uint32_t payloadSize = static_cast<uint32_t>(pubsubType.getSerializedSizeProvider(pData)());
SerializedPayload_t payload(payloadSize);
pubsubType.serialize(pData, &payload);

// DESERIALIZATION EXAMPLE
types::DynamicData* data2 = DynamicDataFactory::get_instance()->create_data(pType);
pubsubType.deserialize(&payload, data2);

A member can be marked to be ignored by serialization with the annotation @non_serialized.
