Detailed Description

PersistentIStream is used to read persistent objects from a stream where they were previously written using PersistentOStream.

Basic types and pointers to objects derived from PersistentBase should be read in the same order they were written out. If pedantic() is true the same classes that were written out must be present in the current program. If pedantic() is false and if an object is read for which only a base class is present in the current program, only the parts corresponding to the base class will be read, and the rest will be gracefully skipped.

Each base class of a given object will be asked to read its members from the stream starting from the least derived class going to the most derived one. Members may be pointers to other persistent objects or basic types or containers of these. The output for each object part should be implemented by specializing the ClassTraits<T>::input method, which otherwise will call the non-virtual persistentInput function of the class. Note that for diamond-shaped multiple inheritance structures, the virtual base classes will be written out several times for the same object.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ PersistentIStream()

ThePEG::PersistentIStream::PersistentIStream ( string  )

Constuctor giving a file name to read from.

If the first character in the string is a '|', the corresponding program is run and its standard output is used instead. If the filename ends in ".gz" the file is uncompressed with gzip.

Member Function Documentation

◆ endBase()

void ThePEG::PersistentIStream::endBase ( string  classname)
private

Scan stream for "end base class" marker.

The classname is the name of the class currently being read and is only used for documenting exceptions.

◆ endObject()

void ThePEG::PersistentIStream::endObject ( )
private

Scan the stream to the end of the current object.

If any new object are found these are read prom the stream to ensure that the pointer structure is preserved.
