I am looking for ideas about automatically generating the serialization helpers. Boost serialization library would be used - the question is about a simple (hopefully) and foolproof way of automatically creating the helpers.
Thank you. This is an interesting idea - I'll have to look a bit at the Boost preprocessor then. I'm wondering, have you have already covered all situations? The example gives a good starting point, but I'm thinking of having support for: 1) Serialization of the base classes 2) Case when the data member is a pointer to a base class - talking about registration like ar.register_type(...) Let me know if you dealt with the above points as well - I'll have to think myself how to add support for these cases. The devil is in the details... Would be nice to solve the points above - and maybe bring the syntax closer to what varaible declarations look like. Thanks, Alex
