Overview

Command brio-gen generates (un)marshaler code for types.

For each type given to brio-gen, marshaling and unmarshaling code will be generated so the types implement binary.Binary(Un)Marshaler.

• values are encoded using binary.LittleEndian,
• int and uint are encoded as (resp.) int64 and uint64,
• booleans are encoded as a single uint8 (0==false, 1==true),
• strings are encoded as a pair(uint64, []byte),
• arrays are encoded as a sequence of Ts, the length is implicit as it is part of the array type,
• slices are encoded as a pair(uint64, T...)
• pointers are encoded as *T (like encoding/gob)
• interfaces are not supported.
