Now I remember - shared_ptr is marked with no_tracking. That is we never serialize a pointer to a shared_ptr (makes sense!). Thus we never have to invoke BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(shared_ptr<X>) . So, if boost::any can be no_tracking then there is not problem at all. Just implement serialization for boost::any<T> and be sure that BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT is applied to each T as usual. Robert Ramey
