How do I prevent boost::serialize from treating a pointer as an object
and serializing the object. I have written the specialization of
save/load for the object pointer.
I get the following errors when I attempt to compile the program below...
boost/serialization/access.hpp: In static member function 'static void
boost::serialization::access::serialize(Archive&, T&, unsigned int)
