sgs_Serialize(Ext) [functions]

void sgs_Serialize( sgs_Context* C, sgs_Variable var )

Serialize the given variable (convert to a byte stream).

void sgs_SerializeExt( sgs_Context* C, sgs_Variable var, int mode )

Same as above, also allows to specify serialization mode.

• sgs_Serialize is alias of sgs_SerializeExt( C, var, SGS_SERIALIZE_DEFAULT )
• Function pushes a string variable on stack if serialization was at least minimally successful, otherwise null is pushed.
• Default serialization mode is 2 or the current mode inside object serialization callback.
• The following variable types can be serialized:
  • symbols (variables that can be found in the symbol table);
  • null, bool, int, real, string, func (SGS function);
  • objects with the SERIALIZE interface function defined.
