]> I need to write my own marshalling functions for a network protocol stack. Is there any way I can make use of the <caml/intext.h> serialization and deserialization functions? Has anyone trod this path before me and is willing to share their wisdom? Why am I doing this, you ask? Bandwidth is critical, and custom marshalling can save a lot of space - especially in getting rid of headers. Also, I want to do things like serialize some info, add a MAC, then serialize some more. The off-the-shelf solution is too space-inefficient: let alen = Marshal.to_buffer buf ofs max adata [] in let mac = Digest.substring buf ofs alen in let blen = Marshal.to_buffer buf (ofs + alen) (max - alen) (mac, bdata) [] in ...
