serde_pipe
Turn serde+bincode into a pipe: push T
s and pull u8
s, or vice versa.
This library gives you a Serializer
pipe, into which you can push T
s and pull u8
s; and a Deserializer
pipe, into which you can push u8
s and pull T
s.
Both are bounded in their memory usage, i.e. they do not simply allocate a vector for serde+bincode to serialize into. Instead, libfringe is leveraged to turn serde+bincode into a Generator from which u8
s can be pulled from/pushed to on demand.
This is useful for example if you have 10GiB memory available, and want to serialize+send or receive+deserialize an 8GiB vector. Note, this is perfectly possible with serde+bincode normally, but you'd need to dedicate a thread that blocks until completion to the task.
Example
extern crate serde_pipe;
use Serializer;
let large_vector = .;
let mut serializer = new;
serializer.push.unwrap;
while let Some = serializer.pull
Note
This crate currently depends on libfringe, and as such inherits these limitations:
- Rust nightly is required for the
asm
andnaked_functions
features; - The architectures currently supported are: x86, x86_64, aarch64, or1k;
- The platforms currently supported are: bare metal, Linux (any libc), FreeBSD, DragonFly BSD, macOS. Windows is not supported.
