class Packer

Represents an output serialization stream.

class Packer

Packer::WriteArray	Writes an array of data to the output stream.
Packer::GetStringSize	Returns the serialized size of a string.

Packer(void *ptr);

ptr	A pointer to a memory block for the packed data.

A Packer object is passed to the Packable::Pack function when the engine needs to serialize data stored in an object. The Packer object encapsulates an output serialization stream, and the << operator is typically used to write data to it.

template <typename type> Packer& operator <<(const type& data);	Writes the data given by the data parameter to the output stream.
Packer& operator <<(const bool& data);	Writes the boolean value given by the data parameter to the output stream. (This operation always writes four bytes to the output stream.)
template <long len> Packer& operator <<(const String<len>& string);	Writes the string given by the string parameter to the output stream.

In order to maintain four-byte alignment, char and short types should not be serialized directly with the << operator. Instead, such values should first be cast to a 32-bit type. Note that the bool type is given special handling by the << operator so that it always occupies four bytes. Unpacker
