Re: [Boost-users] [Boost serialization] non intrusive & derivated class

Zitat von agrosjea :

I actually found a way to use friendship in my sample code. It looks like

class Father{ protected : string who; template<class Archive> friend void serialize(Archive& , Father&, const unsigned int); public : Father(){ who = "father";}; virtual void whoAreYou(){ cout << "Hello, I am the " << this->who << endl; }; };

Seems to work but is it the cleanest way to make it ?

nothing wrong with that. class A{ template<class Archive> friend void serialize(Archive &,A &,unsigned int){ } }; should be equivalent to class A{ friend class serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive &,unsigned int){ } };
