Struct stream interfaces #13

Closed vkottler closed 1 year ago

vkottler commented 1 year ago

This comment example shows essentially what we're going for: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1559254/are-there-binary-memory-streams-in-c

When using the >> / << read from some stream interface (???) the exact number of bytes in the struct, encode/decode, return.

vkottler commented 1 year ago

We want basic_ostream<uint8_t> and basic_istream<uint8_t, we should also make uint8_t an alias in the common header file.

Added basic stream read and write operator overloads for structs. Now it's time to try and manually test this.

At some point we should add a primitive-prefixed chunk streaming interface. That would be the missing piece at this point for automating some basic protocol encode and decode?
