Do you know any boost tool to get the pointer to the derive class like this:
template<class TArchiveType> MyContainer::serialize(TArchiveType &rArchive, const unsigned int Version) {
boost_tool_to_get_drived_class_pointer(p_variable_data)->MyCustomSerialize(rArchive, Version, MyData); }
I'm not going to tell you how to do this because doing this won't help you ! Reread the section of the documentation which addresses serialization of pointers. It discusses the serialization of an object through a pointer to the virtual base class so all you have to do is base_class *m_bc; // where base class is a virtual base class. ar << m_dc The serialization library keeps track of the "true" (most derived) class and call the serialize function on THAT class. You don't have to do anything to get what you want. I would suggest you look through the tests/examples (there are 50+ in the library!) and find one that does this and study it.
Or tell me how the following code in oserializer.hpp can be used for my case
<snip> the above example ar << m_dc will in fact use that code. One time we had a similar thread. The final result was "Oh - this is really simple - once you see it!" So if what you want to do is NOT simple, you're doing it wrong. Start make taking one of your types serialize it make a small test to prove that it works. Add the next higher type and repeat make a test which does the above through a pointer and repeat add a virtual base class and repeat Robert Ramey
