This article deals with the process of serialization in which database objects are converted to some external form. Most useful applications depend on information of a more permanent nature than that generated during a single execution. Hence, the lives of such master files transcend that of the execution of any of the applications that use them. Other applications involve the communication of messages between separate programs, often referred to as client and server. While the life of a message is often much shorter than that of a database record, the creation of both involves the use of some data format external to the applications that manipulate them.

This article presents information on the features of the GNU Autoconf computer program. The program promotes adaptability within the build process by similarly deferring decision. Autoconf has the capacity to develop any kind of file based on a template but is typically used to create makefiles. In addition, the program language has the ability to parse a file typically called configure.ac as well as expands any m4 macros it encounters. Similar to a preprocessor anything the program does not recognizes a macro it adds to configure untouched which means a configure.ac could contain a mix of macros and raw shell code.

This article deals with the functions of the Template Class array. The template class states two arguments. First of all is the type of the elements that the object will hold and the second is the number of elements. Thus, like a C-style array, an array object holds a fixed-size array of objects. In addition, an array object can be initialized with an aggregate initializer, just like a C-style array. Hence, an array or class type is not an aggregate if it has any user-declared constructors or any private and protected non static data members.

This article deals with the development of Ch embeddable C/C++ interpreter for cross-platform scripting in January 2006. The interpreter supports all language features and standard libraries of the ISO C90 Standard. In addition, it also supports several features added in the ISO C99 system. As compared to other languages and software packages, Ch bridges the gap between low-level languages and very high-level languages. The software also retains low-level features of C such as accessing memory for hardware interface.

This article presents information on the features of the Tiny 1.1 compiler. The system has a pcode feature. The use of pcodes as an intermediary language is a way of separating the high-level language being processed from the low-level language being generated. The high and low-level languages become loosely coupled, but remain highly cohesive. Hence, another advantage of pcode is that instead of applying pcodes to immediately generate assembly language for the required target, they can also be written to a staging buffer.

The article summarizes the generally accepted riles for the use of free C++ computer software friend functions and classes. There is a long-standing prejudice in the C++ community against declaring friend functions and classes. One factor in this prejudice is friendship's lack of granularity. A class grants its friends access to every detail of its implementation, which seem to violate the spirit, if not the letter of encapsulation. Hence, the whole point of friendship is to allow coupling when appropriate.
