[Boost-users] [serialization] Custom Shared pointer

hi i have couple questions about boost serilazation regarding shared pointers. First off i was wondering if boost::shared_ptr has working serilazation code? if so maybe i can learn from there. What's im trying to do is save fairly simple custom shared-pointer class. All it should take is to save the pointer in the class and ref count as well the Parent variable which is pointer to the parent shared-pointer. what needs to be considered for this? should i disable tracking for the shared-pointer and does the pointer stored in the shared-pointer require some special considerations? thanks.
