Hi, I dived into the source code of the library and found a workaround to allocate such objects. Unfortunately, I had to specialize a class in the Detail namespace. With a hook in the pointer_iserializer and pointer_oserializer it would have been very easy to implement this. I don't know whether there are other cases where such an extension could be useful. Just wanted to let you know that i found some solution. (see attachment) Regards and thanks, Roland On Monday 03 August 2009 23:12:50 Matthias Troyer wrote:
Uhhhh .... that is dangerous code. and this object is neither Assignable nor Copyable. Do you really need to make use of that optimization? In essence you need to control the memory allocation:
Base *x = new(new unsigned char[sizeof(Derived) + 42 * sizeof(int)]) Derived(42);
and have the serialization library do such a new operation instead of the default one. Robert, is there a hook for that?
