Ok, thank you. Issue solved. I don't need a work around as this was only a test. Not serializing basic type pointers is not the same as not tracking them. One could serialize them but not track them. But as this would lead to bugs I am happy the way it is. A better error message (in the way it happens when you try to serialize into xml archives without giving the entity a name) would be desirable. Maybe a comment close to this line in access.hpp? thx Sahrah Robert Ramey wrote:
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.

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,
Sahrah
