Re: [Boost-users] Serialization with pointer to const object

So finally to summarize it means that for now I cannot serialize pointers to const obj. And I need to update my code to throw away the const. Is that correct? Regards, ~ Soumen Sohail Somani-2 wrote:

At the time the object needs to be instantiated and read, instead of dealing with a T const * p as:

p=new T; ar >> *p;

what's wrong with:

T * tmp=new T; ar >> * tmp; p=tmp;

This reminded me of the same issue with shared_ptr<const T> https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3123

I'm not sure Robert is applying const correctness correctly here.

There is no "const violation" here. If there was, you'd see a const_cast in the patch somewhere.
