Since CDR is a standard and there are many implementations of it it might be an alternative.
During the second serialization review there were proposals, discussions, and some code of a CDR type archive that would be portable. This code was more of a demonstration, and hasn't been refined to the point where it can be included in the library, but it is something someone that really has a need should do...
Hi, But if CDR is not used then do you guys know what is ? Because, please correct me if I am wrong (I am just reading and learning with this thread), isn't this functionality (machine agnostic serialization) crucial to frameworks like ACE and to specifications like CORBA and to any cross-platform network communication library ?
