I really need to serialize iterators, how can I do that?
I don't think it would be all that tough - but it would require fairly intimat knowledge of how the standard containers and iterators work. Feel free to do it.
Good Luck

I asked you first in a private mail, and all you had to
say was: interesting question! Ask it on one of boosts
mailinglists and I'll answer it there.
Is the above the "Answer" you had in mind?
1) WHY does boost::serialization not support serialization
of iterators?
2) Why does the documentation not mention this?
3) My original question hasn't been answered: How can
one serialize iterators with boost::serialization?
Imho, it requires intimate knowledge of the serialization
library a lot more than knowledge of the STL; which is
why I think this should be added to the library by people
who are already familiar with how this library works (you).
I suppose that 'tracking' needs to be turned on for
something, but for what? The iterator type(s)? Will that
then work? I cannot answer those questions without
knowing the details of how this library works. I think
it's unfair to tell me "good luck".
