| Abstract | This paper proposes a way to elegantly approach a problem that used to be ugly by its nature: to save and restore (serialize) objects to and from magnetic support, in a portable, machine- and language-independent fashion. The solution also addresses intra- and inter-process communications, because the problems raised by interchangeability and portability and are similar in both cases. To achieve this, a high-level description language that addresses low-level issues is designed. Translation from a high-level specification to a certain programming language can be done automatically, thus considerably reducing the effort that programmers used to spend when implementing complicated, standard or non-standard serialization protocols, and increasing the code reliability at the same time. 1 Introduction To persist is to hold to a state or a goal. In computer programs, an example of persistence is retaining information between application invocations. Objects that are created when... |
