Re: [Boost-users] [serialization] seriazation from base pointer/Runtime Casting

one other thing... inside section "Runtime casting" there's 2nd method for registering derived class: boost::serialization::void_cast_register(); it seems that it was changed or something, but it doesn't work for me. vc ide shows that this function expects 2 arguments. I also tried to call it this way: boost::serialization::void_cast_register(this,this); but it also didn't seem to work i use boost 1.33.0

whoops, your right the documentation is out of sync with the code. Look into test_void_cast for hot its used. In your case try: The correct function prototype is: void_cast_register( static_cast(NULL), static_cast(NULL), );. I don't think this will solve your other problems though. Robert Ramey
