Marshalgen: A Package for Semi-Automatic Marshaling of Objects

Abstract— Marshaling or serialization of objects is an important component of both distributed and parallel computing. Current systems impose a significant burden on the programmer for describing the marshaling of complex, recursive data structures. Marshalgen provides a semi-automatic process for marshaling in C and C++. Marshalgen avoids the need for complex IDLs and auxiliary routines. It is based on annotations of the existing source code.
