使用Boost的Serialization库序列化STL标准容器

        使用Boost做对象序列化是非常方便的，本文将介绍一种序列化STL标准容器的方法。

        这是之前设计的异步框架的一个子功能：过程A将标准容器数据序列化成二进制流，然后将该二进制数据发送到过程B，过程B将数据反序列化为标准容器。（转载请指明出于breaksoftware的csdn博客）

        下面这个基类支持vector、set、unordered set、multiset、unordered multiset、map、unordered map、multimap和unordered multimap。

class Serialization : public T {

    void serialization(std::ostringstream& ostream) {

        oa << *this;
    }

        ia >> *this;
    }

    template  
    void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version) {  
        ar & boost::serialization::base_object(*this);  
    }
};

}

#endif // STLSERIALIZATION_SERIALIZATION_H

        可被序列化的标准容器只要继承该基类即可。以map为例

#ifndef STLSERIALIZATION_MAP_SERIALIZATION_H

        使用一个单元测试来测试这段代码

#include "gtest/gtest.h"
#include "./src/stl_serialization/map_serialization.h"

using stl_serialization::MapSerialization;

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    testing::InitGoogleTest(&argc, argv);
    return RUN_ALL_TESTS();
}

namespace unit_test {

class UtMapSerialization :
    public ::testing::Test 
{
protected:
    virtual void SetUp() {
        MapSerialization ms_src;
        for (int i = 0; i < _size; i++) {
            ms_src[i] = " ";
        }
        ms_src.serialization(_ost);
    }
    virtual void TearDown() {}
protected:
    int _size = 10000;
    std::ostringstream _ost;
};

TEST_F(UtMapSerialization, SizeEq) {
    MapSerialization ms_des;
    std::istringstream ist(_ost.str());
    ms_des.unserialization(ist);
    ASSERT_EQ(_size, ms_des.size());
}

TEST_F(UtMapSerialization, ElemEq) {
    MapSerialization ms_des;
    std::istringstream ist(_ost.str());
    ms_des.unserialization(ist);
    int i = 0;
    for (std::map::iterator it = ms_des.begin(); it != ms_des.end(); it++) {
        ASSERT_EQ(it->first, i++);
    }
}

}

        如果STL的容器中存放在的是一个非标准类型，比如一个用户自定义类型，则需要让该类型实现serialize方法。以vector为例

#include "serialization.h"

namespace stl_serialization {

template
class VectorSerialization : public Serialization > {
};

}

#endif // STLSERIALIZATION_VECTOR_SERIALIZATION_H

        下面代码中，由于TestData是容器承载的类型，所以它需要增加24~33行代码用于容器内对象序列化。

        std::string str = std::to_string(i);
        ASSERT_STREQ(item.str.c_str(), str.c_str());  
    }
}

}

        最后我们看下包含10000个对象的容器反序列化耗时，总体来说效率还是不错的。

        最后说下，unordered set、unordered multiset、unordered map和unordered multimap等不保证序列化前后容器中元素顺序一致。
