I am trying to serialize a derived template class. template<class T> class base {}; tempate<class T> class derived : public base<T> {}; I am trying to serialize 'derived' and have tried many different things. I am unable to serialize the inherited template classes. For some reason the code calls (1) 'derived::Serialize' (2) 'base::Save' and never executes 'derived:: Save' and doesnot serialize the 'derived' object properly. I am attaching the source code (SerializeTemplates.cpp) and the output(output.txt) of the program. I am using MSVC7.1, debug mode, Boost 1.33, Spirit 1.8 It will be great, if somebody could point out what I am doing wrong.
