The IPersistable interface declares the two methods that a class must implement so that instances of that class can be encoded and decoded.
This capability provides the basis for archiving (where objects and other structures are stored on disk) and distribution (where objects are copied to different address spaces).
|
pure virtual |
Initializes an object from data in a given unarchiver.
Decoding mode is not propagated. The method should pick up everything it finds.
|
pure virtual |
Encodes the receiver using a given archiver.
| encoder | An archiver object. |
| mode | Encoding mode is propagated through the entire hierarchy of objects providing caller with a chance to control the process. |
