Hi, I think a sentence has to be modified in the documentation. On the link http://www.boost.org/libs/serialization/doc/index.html Section : Pending Issues [ Added >> << ] currently can't serialize through a pointer an object >>a of<< class that implements its own new/delete operators. I was wondering whether it is "object a". to currently can't serialize through a pointer an object >>of a<< class that implements its own new/delete operators. Thank you, -- Nitin Motgi NITIN . DOT.
