I'm suspecting that there is a confusion about how to seriailzation a pointer to a null terminated string. It's natural to want to do something like char *p; ... p = "jsdkfjads" ... ar & p; because the library syntax encourages one to think that way. But in this case, one would want save(... int i = strlen(p); ar << i; ar << binary_object(i, p); } load(... int i; ar >> i; ar >> binary_object(i,p); } That is, I think the question reflects a mis-conception about the best way to use the library.

How would you serialize pointers as binary objects?

Are you sure really want to do this? look into binary object.

I get this compile error: cannot convert `char*' to `tracked_char*' in initialization
Can you try
tracked_char* tcp(it.chstar)
That sometimes works for me if I have such problems
