Re: [Boost-users] Simple serialization of int*

pointers to primitive types are not serializable by default. If they were, then ALL the int values would have to be tracked - most likely not what you want. try wrapping your int in a class and serialize a pointer to that class. Robert Ramey Sahrah wrote:

Hi all,

I am looking for a solution to do this:

int p1 = 5; int* test; test = &p1; std::ofstream out("test.bin"); boost::archive::binary_oarchive ar(out); ar << test;

it does not compile.

I get:

Error 9 error C2228: left of '.serialize' must have class/struct/union c:\...\boost_1_37_0\boost\serialization\access.hpp

I am using MSVC9. Boost 1.37.0

thanks,
