generators are a better basis for serializers than streaming into sinks as we do currently for many reasons, such as being usable as sources if one wishes to (without requiring an intermediate sink to serialize full data sets into memory, or boost coroutines to turn sinks into sources), composing more naturally (as one can just yield a sub-generator instead of being forced to wrap entire substreams into clunky functions or even more clunky custom types to implement operator<< on), allowing wrappers to transform data with clear ownership semantics (removing the need for explicit memory allocations and Source wrappers), and many other things Change-Id: I361d89ff556354f6930d9204f55117565f2f7f20 |
