[erlang-questions] RecordA serialization ... time ... deserialization to RecordB?

[Ulf Wiger]

This is not exactly what was asked for, but…

In JOBS, I have created a jobs_info module that includes jobs.hrl and uses exprecs's -export_records() feature.

https://github.com/esl/jobs/blob/master/src/jobs_info.erl

I use this module to present metadata about the various objects in JOBS. The only thing needed in order to 'serialize' a new type of record is to define it in jobs.hrl and add it to the -export_records() directive.

BR,
Ulf W

-module(jobs_info).

-export([pp/1]).

-include("jobs.hrl").
-include_lib("parse_trans/include/exprecs.hrl").

-export_records([rr, cr, grp, rate, queue, sampler]).


pp(L) when is_list(L) ->
    [pp(X) || X <- L];
pp(X) ->
    case '#is_record-'(X) of
	true ->
	    RecName = element(1,X),
	    {RecName, lists:zip(
			'#info-'(RecName,fields),
			pp(tl(tuple_to_list(X))))};
	false ->
	    if is_tuple(X) ->
		    list_to_tuple(pp(tuple_to_list(X)));
	       true ->
		    X
	    end
    end.
