news:f7907c850801281226ra033ea4tda49655c0964339d@mail.gmail.com... Is it
possible using the boost serialization libraries to serialize pointers to PODs, such
as integers? I have tested successfully with pointers to classes but have not been
able to get pointers to non-polymorphic serialized. Is this a known issue?

Pointers to primitives are not tracked.  See implementation level.  If you really need
to do this, use BOOST_STRONG_TYPEDEF to make a type which is not primitive.
Check the documentation regarding serialization traits.

Thanks, I'll check it out.
Thanks, that worked. I added a non-intrusive serilaze() function
because I didn't want to  mess with the macro, below is what I used
for 'int'

////

BOOST_STRONG_TYPEDEF(int, int_type)

// serialize function for int_type
namespace boost {
namespace serialization {

template<class Archive>
void serialize(Archive & ar, int_type & g, const unsigned int version)
{
    ar & make_nvp("value", g.t);
}

} // namespace serialization
} //
