Is there a way to serialize automatically enums as int?
- by FireAphis
Hello,
Is there a way to serialize enums automatically as int? Every time I define a new enum and write
std::stringstream stream;
stream << myenum1;
stream >> myenum2;
the compiler complains that the operators << and are not defined. Do you know a way to tell the compiler to treat enums as plain int's?
What makes the problem harder is that, actually, the serialization is inside a template. Something like this:
template <typename T>
void serialize(const T& value)
{
std::stringstream stream;
stream << value;
}
So I cannot add any casts :(
Maybe I can specialize it somehow?
Thank you.
