Re: [Boost-users] serialization of large complex structure

Matthias Troyer writes:

Can't you just write a serialize() function for each of your structs? As you say they are structs I assume that all members are public and a free serialize function should be able to access all members?

Thanks, that seems much easier! I had been analyzing the bus schedule example, but I missed that there was a non-intrusive method. I just need to know how to serialize a char now, without modifying any structures that contain chars. The wrapper class method seems to require that my structures be changed to contain tracked_char instead of char. Is there an alternate way to deal with chars? While we're thinking about chars, how do I serialize a char*? Does Boost treat this as an array? Thanks, Diane
