Hi All in the list,
I'm basically new to boost so I hope to find support here to integrate my own serialization library within the boost archive logic.
I looked at your post and had a lot of difficulty in figuring out how I could help you. I think the above statement is the source of my difficulty. If you have you're own serialization library, what do you need the boost one for? If you want to use the boost one, what does your own library have to do with anything? I should say that creating one's own archive implementation is harder than it should be. This is due to the fact that documentation and implementation of some details of this process are ambiguous and non-obvious. None-the-less a number of people have managed to create their own archive implementations without too much problem - os it IS doable. It does require knowledge of template meta-programming and investigation of ohw the current libraryies are implemented. If you want to make an archive implementation which some format not supported by the current ones, that would be a quesion we might be able to help with. If this is what you want to do, you might look at simple log archive and trivial archive in thedocumentation. Also there are a few other archives around which illustrate how this ahs been done. There is one for yaml and one for json these are in the sandbox and/or vault. There is also included in the package a portable_binary_archive. Also special archive implementations have been created to support MPI. Looking at your specific question, I can only say I think you need to invest more time in studying the above mentioned subjects before I could be of help. Robert Ramey
