# Function derive_serialization_quotes

Module: `noir_aztec::protocol::meta::utils`

```rust
pub comptime fn derive_serialization_quotes(
    params: [(Quoted, Type)],
    use_self_prefix: bool,
) -> (Quoted, Quoted, Quoted)
```

Generates serialization code for a list of parameters and the total length of the serialized array

## Parameters

- `params`: A list of (name, type) tuples to serialize
- `use_self_prefix`: If true, parameters are accessed as `self.$param_name` (for struct members). If false, parameters are accessed directly as `$param_name` (for function parameters).

## Returns

A tuple containing:

- Quoted code that serializes the parameters into an array named `serialized_params`
- Quoted code that evaluates to the total length of the serialized array
- Quoted code containing the name of the serialized array
