try making the base class a polymorphic class by adding the following changes:
virtual ~CMyCls1() = 0;

Hi,
I'm trying to serialize an object of derived class with a base class pointer, somehow only base class's serialization member function got called. Here is the code (simplified):
class CMyCls1
{
public:
CMyCls1() : m(10) {}
~CMyCls1() {}
private:
friend class boost::serialization::access;
template<class Archive>
void serialize(Archive &ar, const unsigned int version)
{
ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(m);
}
int m;
virtual ~CMyCls1() = 0;
};
class CMyCls2 : public CMyCls1
{
public:
CMyCls2() : x(1.5) {}
~CMyCls2() {}
private:
friend class boost::serialization::access;
template<class Archive>
void serialize(Archive &ar, const unsigned int version)
{
ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BASE_OBJECT_NVP(CMyCls1);
ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(x);
}
double x;
virtual ~CMyCls2();
};
void main ()
{
CMyCls1 *pmycls = new CMyCls2;
.
oa.register_type(static_cast(NULL));
oa.register_type(static_cast(NULL));
oa << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(pmycls);
.
}
Look at the archive file, only base class data is serialized. Actuall, CMyCls2::serialization() is not called at all. How do you serialize a derived class object with a pointer of base class?
Thanks,
Yan
