People have asked this before, its really needed, but as far as anyone knows, there is no portable way to do this. Depending on your needs type_id might return a string you can use.

In following code - archive results in tag name as T as T is used in BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(T) statement.
Instead I want actual type name for T, instead of just T as Tag name, how to achieve this ???
template<class T>
void Serialize(const char * filename)
{
std::ofstream ofs(filename);
assert(ofs.good());
boost::archive::xml_oarchive oa(ofs);
oa << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(T);
ofs.close();
}
