Re SmartReferenceStream, my understanding is that
it tries to cope with instance variable layout changes, and perhaps does a
better job of handling cycles than does ReferenceStream. It goes about
these things VERY poorly. First, it assumes that a good response to a
layout change is to display a walkback and offer to generate code to compensate
for it. That's fine for a developer, but it has no place in a world with
end users. Second, the conversion methods end up in a common location
(class side of SRS, IIRCC) instead of being somewhow associated with the
offending class. Finally, you might want to serialize some small objects
and note the verbosity of the output.
So far, SIXX appears to be a better choice. My
opportunity to stress test it still requires a fair amount of porting, but
offers 10k+ richly populated objects when I finally get
there.

Sorry, and I forgot another one:
3) Which is the difference
between ReferenceStream and SmartRefStream
?
Cheers

Hi folks. I have been analyzing the code and trying to
understand what ImageSegment does and how. After that, I came up to
SmartRefStream and here is where I have some questions:
1) which is the
difference between ImageSegment and SmartRefStream ? what does each of them do
?
2) Who uses who ? ImageSegment uses SmartRefStream or
vice-versa? each one use the other?
Thank you for any hints you
can give me.
Mariano
