I used boost serialize with some smaller projects, which always worked nicely. But now I want to use it on a bigger one. And I wonder why some things seem to be missing. - tuple: There is code on the Internet in various places for bridging boost::serialize with boost::tuple. But why isn't there an official version in either boost::serialize or boost::tuple? - portable_binary_archive: There are also some implementations around, one even in the examples of boost::serialization. But why is it not in the official library itself? Sure I could use the code I found, but it would feel better if it was part of the library. That's especially true for serialization where I want to be 99.99999999% sure, the data can always be read back in. Rgds Richard
