What is written looks very much like the way you do serialization in C++
Serialization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[^]

Read the article there are a number of reasons why you may want to serialize code from transmission thru, time based processing thru to encryption protection of code.

You will note within the article they talk about C and C++ not having serialization but you can do it with a sort of standard form. Your code looks to me like that standard form. MFC has the same setup because it has serialized classes and even that is discussed in the wiki article.

Note MFC's main reason for serialization: "The technique is called differential execution. It is useful in the programming of user interfaces whose contents are time-varying — graphical objects can be created, removed, altered, or made to handle input events without necessarily having to write separate code to do those things."

You were saying you don't know why the original code was written like that and they won't let you change it. If you need the serialization it would indeed break the program if you write it a different way.

So I am suggesting you check if the code is indeed doing serialization. If it is and that serialization is still needed you can not change it even if you wanted to.
In vino veritas
