Robert: right, I don't want to do/have neither a) nor b).
The solution that Bill proposes does indeed what I need. However I wanted to
avoid these kind of "global" flags and to know if there are
already some built solutions wihtin the library itself.
Here is my concrete case:
struct parkinglot {
// static data
...
// simulation data
...
template <class Archive>
void serialize1(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version) {
// static data
// ...
}
template <class Archive>
void serialize2(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version) {
// simulation data
// ...
}
};
I want to serialize static data indendently of the simulation data and vice
versa.
Of course, the best solution would be a redesign of this data structure.
But the question is: does the library offer a solution to declare more than
one form of serialization for the same type of Archive?
Thanks,
Vidal

a) you shouldn't want to do this b) you shouldn't have to do this
If you want to do this anyway, try
class Foo { void serialize(boost::archive::binary_iarchive & ar, const unsigned int version); void serialize(boost::archive::text_iarchive & ar, const unsigned int version); void serialize(boost::archive::binary_oarchive & ar, const unsigned int version); void serialize(boost::archive::text_oarchive & ar, const unsigned int version); };
