 /**
 * @brief  	Implement the conversion of object data to data streams
 * 		   	or vice-versa, using linked lists.
 * @details
 * An alternative to the AutoSerializeAdapter functions
 *   - All object members with a datatype are declared as SerializeElement<element_type>
 * 	   members inside the class implementing this adapter.
 *   - The element type can also be a SerialBufferAdapter to de-/serialize buffers,
 *     with a known size, where the size can also be serialized
 *   - The element type can also be a SerialFixedArrayListAdapter to de-/serialize buffers
 *     with a size header, which is scanned automatically
 *
 * The sequence of objects is defined in the constructor by using
 * the setStart and setNext functions.
 *
 * - The serialization process is done by instantiating the class and
 *   calling serializ after all SerializeElement entries have been set by
 *   using the constructor or setter functions. An additional size variable can be supplied
 *   which is calculated/incremented automatically
 * - The deserialization process is done by instantiating the class and supplying
 *   a buffer with the data which is converted into an object. The size of
 *   data to serialize can be supplied and is decremented in the function
 *
