Re: [Boost-users] [Boost serialization] non intrusive & derivated class

But of course this isn't non-intrusive anymore. Robert Ramey agrosjea wrote:

I actually found a way to use friendship in my sample code. It looks like

class Father{ protected : string who; template<class Archive> friend void serialize(Archive& , Father&, const unsigned int); public : Father(){ who = "father";}; virtual void whoAreYou(){ cout << "Hello, I am the " << this->who << endl; }; };

Seems to work but is it the cleanest way to make it ?
