The question is not the name of the method, the problem is the additional parameter which boost::serialization cannot pass to me. For this reason I have to call my own serialize method inside the standard serialize method prepared for boost::serialization. template<class TArchiveType> MyContainer::serialize(TArchiveType &rArchive, const unsigned int Version) { p_variable_data->MyCustomSerialize(rArchive, Version, MyData); } NOTE that I have a pointer to the base calss and I have to call the MyCustomSerialize of the derive class. For doing this I have to simulate the mechanism already used in boost::serialization to call the standard serialization. The problem is that I dont know how to use the get_extended_info and its related interface. Thanks again.

Hi,
First of all thank you for your kind suggestion. I completely agree about suggested methodology for optimizing. (Indeed this is the methodology I use in my work) However here my concern is the performance in normal use of container and not in seriliaztion and optimizing the serialization will be a secondary objective.
What I need to know is how to call a MyCostumSerialize method of my derive object with an additional parameter via a pointer to the base class:
Class VariableData{ std::size_t m_Key; public:
template<class TArchiveType> MyCostumSerialize(TArchiveType &rArchive, const unsigned int Version, void* pValue) {}
};
template<class TDataType> class Veriable : public VariableData { public:
template<class TArchiveType> MyCostumSerialize(TArchiveType &rArchive, const unsigned int Version, void* pValue) { rArchive & static_cast<TDataType * >(pVAlue); }
}
Let say I don't how to call the MyCostumSerialize method of "Variable" class above when I have a "VariableData*" pointer in my container:
std::vector<std::pair<const VariableData*, void*> >
Just rename MyCostumeSerialize to serialize Robert Ramey
