Writing rwSaveGuts and rwRestoreGuts Functions
The next two sections discuss guidelines for writing rwSaveGuts() and rwRestoreGuts() global functions. To illustrate these guidelines, the following class will be used:
class Gut {
public:
int fundamentalType_;
size_t aSizeTValue_;
RWCString aRogueWaveObject_;
RWTValDlist anotherRogueWaveObject_;
RWCollectableString anRWCollectable_
RWCollectableString* pointerToAnRWCollectable_;
Gut* pointerToAnObject_;
};
The discussion in the next two sections describes how to write rwSaveGuts() and rwRestoreGuts() functions for non-templatized classes. However, the descriptions also apply to the templatized rwSaveGuts() and rwRestoreGuts() that are written for templatized classes.
