fastest c++ serialization?

Question

Good morning all,

I\'m searching for a very fast binary serialization technique for c++. I only need to serialize data contained in objects (no pointers etc.). I\'d like

Answer 1

Is there any way you can take advantage of things that stay the same?

I mean, you are just trying to run through "test.c.dat" as fast as you possibly can, right? Can you take advantage of the fact that the file does not change between your serialization attempts? If you are trying to serialize the same file, over and over again, you can optimize based on this. I can make the first serialization attempt take the same amount of time as yours, plus a tiny bit extra for another check, and then if you try and run the serialization again on the same input, I can make my second run go much faster than the first time.

I understand that this may just be a carefully crafted example, but you seem to be focused on making the language accomplish your task as quickly as possible, instead of asking the question of "do I need to accomplish this again?" What is the context of this approach?

I hope this is helpful.
