/* This is a very efficient serialization and especially efficient
29
* deserialization framework. The idea is just to concatenate all sub-
30
* structures and strings into a single buffer while preserving proper
31
* member alignment. Pointers will be replaced by the respective data
32
* offsets in the buffer when that target that it pointed to gets
33
* serialized, i.e. appended to the data buffer written so far.
35
* Hence, deserialization can be simply done by copying the buffer and
36
* adjusting the pointers. No fine-grained allocation and copying is
40
/* An element in the structure stack. It contains a pointer to the source
41
* structure so that the relative offset of sub-structure or string
42
* references can be determined properly. It also contains the corresponding
43
* position within the serialized data. Thus, pointers can be serialized
44
* as offsets within the target buffer.
