I know odd title, but I've been working on something lately and I'm a little confused at how to go about this, (bare with me, most of my c++ knowledge is self taught.)
I'm trying to make my objects, objects. And have them much more object oriented then they are currently. The problem I ran into tho is fread_obj, now I had altered it to return an int for the nest value, for those functions that need to know how it's nested. But I have other things that need to read objects as well. And rather then making a new function for every type of object loading. I wanted to make fread_obj work solely as a object reading function. Now it didn't work well as a macro in the object_data cause it didn't like the this = create_obj() stuff. And when I tried to be a smart ass and send it a pointer to the object basically obj->fread_obj(fp, obj) ya well I should have seen that coming. My question is this, how could I go about loading the objects. In a nice clean non hackish way? Is their a way to have an object read itself in from a file?
