Normally, one would expect so serialize a base class using the base object as below: However, serialization for enable_shared_from_this has not been written, so this won't work until that happens. A few minutes spent looking into this reveals that implementing serialization for this class is not a trivial task. So, for now, this cannot be done. Robert Ramey Alexander Gutenev wrote:
The example below works in 1.40 and fails in 1.41
struct X : boost::enable_shared_from_this<X> { X(){} virtual ~X() {} explicit X(int i) : i(i) {}
template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BASE_OBJECT_NVP( boost::enable_shared_from_this<X> ); ar & boost::serialization::make_nvp("i", i); }
int i; };
