Implement Serde's Serialize, Deserialize for SvmVec

Closed this issue 3 years ago · 4 comments

The Rust API Guidelines recommend that "Types that play the role of a data structure should implement Serialize and Deserialize", see: C-SERDE. Therefore, SvmVec should implement the serde Serialize and Deserialize traits.

I have been able to implement Serialize for SvmVec. However, I cannot determine how to implement Deserialize for SvmVec because the Deserialize method signature only takes a Deserializer parameter. However, it needs to take an additional Context parameter to allocate the SvmVec memory.

Has anyone got any ideas how to implement Deserialize for SvmVec?

I believe you want https://docs.serde.rs/serde/de/trait.DeserializeSeed.html

Thank you Jonathan, DeserializeSeed looks perfect!

Added ExtendSvmVec DeserializeSeed implementation for SvmVec and opencl2serde.rs example file in version 0.6.2 of the library.
