[Boost-users] Boost Serialization tracking issues 2

if you want to suppress object tracking for a particular class

BOOST_CLASS_TRACKING(SomeStruct, boost::serialization::track_never)

as described in the manual Reference/Special Considerations/Object Tracking.

Of course you must realized that if you do this and you serialize pointers you're exposed to the risk that when you load the archive multiple pointers to a unique object you're not going to the same thing when you load it. Your going to get each pointer pointing to a different (and new object).

Thx for the answer. My point is that if you nowhere specify a load/store through pointer, the following code stores just multiple copies: for (int i = 0; i < 100; ++i) { const SomeStruct s; oa << s; } but this behavior seems to change if somewhere a store through is performed. This was for my surprising.
