[Qt-interest] How to deal with pointers for a QDataStream?

[Oliver Heins]

I have a data structure which holds some pointers:

class Token
{
public:
    enum Type { Space, Paragraph, Kern, Char, Format, Note, End };
    enum SubType { Bold, Italic,
                   Header1, Header2, Header3, Header4, Header5, Header6,
                   Itemize, Enumerate, Description, Item,
                   Note1, Note2, Note3, Note4, Note5 };

    [...]

    Type type;
    SubType subType;
    QChar chr;
    Token *parent;
    QLinkedList<Token *> children;
    Token *partner;
};

As saving pointers directly to a QDataStream will obviously not work,
what would be a good strategy to save the structure?

TIA,
