Hi all, I have a shared_ptr to an object that changes (the underlying object is non-const, that is, not the shared_ptr), and I'd like to serialize the object each time it changes (size of the archive is not an issue). The problem stems, I think, from object tracking: every time after the first serialization, boost detects that the pointer is the same, and does not write out the (full, updated) object. I've tried putting in BOOST_CLASS_TRACKING(T, boost::serialization::track_never) but it won't compile because there is a BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT in shared_ptr.hpp that prevents setting class T's tracking to track_never if it is then serialized via a shared_ptr, with the comment that "correct shared_ptr serialization depends upon object tracking being used." Am I missing something obvious here, or is another a way to accomplish this? Any help would be greatly appreciated...
