Detailed Description

template<typename Ordinal, typename T>
class Teuchos::DefaultSerializer< Ordinal, T >

A class for instantiating a default serialization object.

The serialization buffer classes below are generalized beyond using the SerializationTraits to use a general serialization object. This is to allow for more general types of serialization, e.g., when other data needs to be used.

Note: (mfh 16 Nov 2014) I honestly have no idea what the above comment means. My guess is that serializers should have little if any state, so there is probably no benefit to keeping around a static DefaultSerializerType object for every type T for which we might want to send and receive data. Furthermore, the deallocation of static objects requires careful management, in particular if they depend on MPI in any way. (I recommend using the "MPI_Finalize hook for MPI_COMM_SELF" idiom, as discussed in the MPI standard.) Thus, I've chosen to remove the static objects, and just return new instances each time.
