Re: [Boost-users] How to serialize basic_string<unsigned char>

(double check "object_type") Basically you want the next level of support above primitive_type.

... which turns out to be `object_serializable' (Serialize the objects of this type using the objects "serialize" function or template. This permits values to be written/read to/from archives but includes no class or version information).

Also, consider using

ar & static_cast(my unsigned string)

This does not compile, obviously there is no way to simply assign one to another. Having used `object_serializable' instead of `primitive_type' (same for `object_class_info') got me back to the original problem, since there's no builtin `serialize' method for this class.
