store

Stores the serialized form of this at data.

data should be large enough. See get_size.

The stored data is in machine native byte order but may not be in fully-normalised form if read from an untrusted source. See get_normal_form for a solution.

As with get_data, to be able to deserialize the serialized variant successfully, its type and (if the destination machine might be different) its endianness must also be available.

This function is approximately O(n) in the size of data.

Parameters:

this	the Variant to store
data	the location to store the serialized data at
