Re: [Boost-users] Problems with char* serialization

Hi Ariel, if you want to use char* to deal with text, I'd recommend to use std::string instead, if you're interested in an array, you might want to consider using a std::vector. If you can't do this for some reason, here's some code which serializes a DREAL* (DREAL=double) and should work similarly for char*: friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void save(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) const { ar & num_labels; for (int i=0; i < num_labels; ++i) { ar & labels[i]; } } template<class Archive> void load(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & num_labels; if (num_labels > 0) { labels = new DREAL[num_labels]; for (int i=0; i< num_labels; ++i) { ar & labels[i]; } } } BOOST_SERIALIZATION_SPLIT_MEMBER(); Cheers, Chris Ariel Brunetto wrote:

Yes, but I am trying to serialize a char*, not a const char*. Is it possible?

Yes, but in case of pointer to const char your primitive type is const char.
