/*************************************************************
 * The I/O format is the content of the class. For objects that are
 * inherited, like Index, a 4-character-code (fourcc) indicates which
 * child class this is an instance of.
 *
 * In this case, the fields of the parent class are written first,
 * then the ones for the child classes. Note that this requires
 * classes to be serialized to have a constructor without parameters,
 * so that the fields can be filled in later. The default constructor
 * should set reasonable defaults for all fields.
 *
 * The fourccs are assigned arbitrarily. When the class changed (added
 * or deprecated fields), the fourcc can be replaced. New code should
 * be able to read the old fourcc and fill in new classes.
 *
 * TODO: serialization to strings for use in Python pickle or Torch
 * serialization.
 *
 * TODO: in this file, the read functions that encouter errors may
 * leak memory.
