Exactly. Not sure what we'd want to use there other than a back_inserter for vector<int>, but who knows? > But are you requiring that everything be packable into an integer > array?? Yeah, sounds crazy, I know. But we need *some* homogeneous type if we want to do MPI sends of vectors of Nodes, unless there's some fancy MPI way to specify variable stride lengths within a vector. And I know that reinterpret_cast<char> (or uchar) is more traditional, but everything we're wanting to serialize currently should align with int anyway. --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
