Description

These macros generate the registration object for the class via IMPLEMENT_STREAMABLE_CLASS, and generate the various member functions that are needed for a streamable class via IMPLEMENT_ABSTRACT_STREAMABLE. IMPLEMENT_STREAMABLE is used when the class has no base classes other than TStreamableBase. Its only parameter is the name of the class. The numbered versions (IMPLEMENT_STREAMABLE1, IMPLEMENT_STREAMABLE2, etc.) are for classes that have bases. Each base class, including all virtual bases, must be listed in the IMPLEMENT_STREAMABLE macro invocation.

The individual components comprising the above macros can be used separately for special situations, such as custom constructors.
