Re: [Boost-users] Partial serialization of a program

4 Nov 2022

      I write an example where one can manually set pointer in load:

#include 
#include 
#include <sstream>

#include 
#include 
#include <iostream>
#include <map>
#include <string>

#include 

std::map m{ {"x",5} };
struct A
{
friend class boost::serialization::access;
int* x;

template <class Archive>
void save(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version) const {

}
template <class Archive>
void load(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version) {
x = &(::m["x"]);//Access outside data.
}
BOOST_SERIALIZATION_SPLIT_MEMBER()
};

int main()
{
A a;

std::stringstream s;
boost::archive::binary_oarchive oa(s);
oa << a;

boost::archive::binary_iarchive ia(s);
A a0;
ia >> a0;

std::cout << *(a0.x) << std::endl;
}

If a serialized object in the dynamic part contains a pointer to a
non-seralized object in the static part then how do I deal with that.
Clearly the address cannot be serialized since it may change between
builds and even between runs (ASLR). The program does contain a
'registry' though where all relevant static objects are registered with
a unique identifier.
So question is would it somehow be possible to have Boost serialization
use this registry to serialize the unique identifier instead of trying
to serialize the entire object when one of those pointers are serialized?
Each class can choose exactly what data it serializes and deserializes,
and what it does with it.
For this case it sounds like you probably want
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_80_0/libs/serialization/doc/tutorial.html#s...
such that you can save an internal id and then reload that id and look
up the corresponding pointer, rather than serializing the other object
directly.  You can still cascade into the other object as a reference to
save/load its dynamic state after that.
You will likely also want to read about
