If a lot of your strings are duplicated, I think boot::flyweight might bear looking into.
Thanks, that would have saved some work. Right what I needed. But it appears it doesn't have serialization support (as of 1.39).
Hmm - I thought it did
Well, I'll try to update to the latest boost version and see if it is there.
Is that the usual thing where we pass the buck between the developers of the different libraries as to who has to implement this functionality? Particularly for flyweights this would be nice to have, given the aforementioned problem.
Well, excuse me, I was only trying to help.
Oh, I didn't mean to cause any offense. I greatly appreciate the boost libraries in general, and the serialization library in particular. It is a very nice piece of work and I use it all the time. Without taking anything away from that, I would prefer if the other boost libraries provided serialization support for their objects. However it seems to fall somewhere between the cracks, which I think is kind of a shame. I'd be happy to help by writing serialization code, where it does not exists and I know the library. I am just not sure if it gets accepted or will just be a waste of effort. I remember someone floated code for serializing filesystem::path objects on this mailing list an eternity ago, which was never incorporated into a stable release. Thanks again, Nils
