If I understand it right, I would want object tracking only if my classes somewhere in their implementation use pointers to keep track of members.
it could be that you're serializing classes which contain a reference so you would want to track even if you're not explicitly using pointers. So I would advice against this solution. There a a very long section in the manual explaining why I chose to require that values being saved be const. I seem to remember that I changed the error into a warning but I might be wrong about this. From my perspective if a C++ programmer has made a sincere effort to understand the manual and hasn't been successful, it's a bug in the manual. So if you want to post a minimal example (maybe you already did and I forgot) I'll have a look at it. Robert Ramey
