=====================
C++11 Header-only generic binary-serialization for arbriray types (and nested containers)
Description
-----------
Header-only library to ease binary serialization.
Examples
--------
Essentially, these lines should sum up the purpose of this library:
// open ofstream as binary ...
// save arbitraty container or fundamental type to it:
list>> foobar;
save(ofstream_binary, foobar);
// a little later... load the container back in:
auto barbaz = load< list>> >( ifstream_binary );
See the test cases for more examples.
Usage
-----
* `include` the header file
* Compile your executable/library with `-std=c++11`
* (this is a C++11-only header, making heavy use of template meta-programming and C++11-type_traits)
Tests
-----
Run `rake clobber; rake`
References

A lot of inspiration (and a mediocre-sized bit of code) was taken from http://flamingdangerzone.com/. This is an absolutely worth reading, and very enlightening. Great work!
