This was OK .... until now when we have a new shared_ptr to deal with.
The real solution is to enhance the serialization API so that the code used for implementing boost::shared_ptr can be applied to other data types which are otherwise unserializable. Unfortunately, this is a non-trivial task which I have yet to get to. So for now I can't offer a real solution other than suggesting one use boost shared pointer rather than std::shared_ptr. I dont' know if this helps - but there it is.
No, this helps a lot. I've switched to boost::shared_ptr and everything seems to work. Reading the documentation, I didn't immediately notice that boost/serialization/shared_ptr.hpp was a specialization for the boost shared pointers, not those of the standard library. This lead to my confusion. Cheers, Arman
