Hi Seeing that the serialization library, since 1.39, supports serialization of objects that have an overloaded operator new, what is the current state regarding serialization? Reason for asking is that we have a large and complex state machine which we consider implementing using a new state machine library supporting orthogonal states. Utilizing orthogonal states can reduce complexity in the legacy state machine. We already have some experience with boost::statechart and really like how code can be organized and spread over multiple translation units making it maintainable. But we also require the state machine to be restored from persistent storage and without some sort of serialization i see no way to restore a state machine utilizing orthogonal states.
