abstract class Novika::Snapshot

Overview

Base class for snapshots.

Snapshots are blobs of binary data corresponding to a Novika value form. Since Blocks are not value forms, they are stored in BlockPool and pointed to by "imaginary" (or "transitory") forms that go by the name of block references.

All snapshots are big-endian-ordered.
