I wonder if it would be possible for you to come up with a separate format, whose purpose was only ever for this purpose. It would not need to be efficient in any respect, just something you could write out to file (say) during the process. It would be a shame to rely on the whole graph needing to be in memory. Maybe something very crude and text based? It could even be considered a debugging format, if it was somewhat human readable.
If so, you could easily send this over a socket from an old version of a running system to a newer one, without relying on either serialising format. It could be quite handy. cheers, Mike On Sun, Oct 9, 2011 at 10:27 AM, Mariano Martinez Peck <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Sun, Oct 9, 2011 at 12:03 AM, Stéphane Ducasse > <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Mariano >> >> >> > No, that's impossible, and if posible, it is not worth it.
