Passing a bitsery buffer to a C API about bitsery HOT 4 CLOSED

If I understood your problem correctly, you can use C-style array or even pointer+size as a buffer. Here is specializations provided for both cases. Also you could look at working example here

from bitsery.

Right, but that example is for a C static array and for the other one, I don't know the total size of the serialized data that will be saved ahead of time.
I have lots of objects serialized recursively and some are dynamic.
I don't see a specialization there that would allow for that use-case I think.

For example, a possible solution would be to give bitsery a malloced buffer of some initial size, and then it would realloc as it needs space (just as it does .push_back for std::vector OutputBufferAdapters). Or just give it a ** and it would malloc too and put the pointer there.

Hopefully I explained the problem more clearly now.

You left with only one solution then. You will need to provide a custom buffer implementation and specialize it for ContainerTraits and BufferAdapterTraits. Hope that helped:)

Ok I see, thank you.
