I am also facing similar problem. I need to iterate through the content of map, and remove the constantness before deserialization. Due to this, I need to save the map size into disk as well.

Hmmm - I think the map size is already saved to disk. If you just copy the current templated implementation for map loading and instantiate a specialized version for your case, I would think that would handle the job. Robert Ramey

I know that there is no obvious fix for this. However, I was wondering whether is there any much better workaround?

Thank you very much!
