You're right.. it should. Thanks! // Anders Sundman Pranckevicius, Tadas skrev:

I have just noticed, shouldn't it be

~Dyn() { delete [] data; }

Hi!

About the boost::serialization library, what is the best way to handle dynamic data in classes? Any idéas, suggestions or caveats? I didn't manage to find anything about this in the docs.

Consider the following sample class:

struct Dyn { Dyn(int s) : data(0), size(s) { data = new char[size]; }

~Dyn() { delete data; }

char* data; int size;

private: friend class boost::serialization::access; template< class Archive > void serialize( Archive &ar, unsigned int ver ) { // -> ar & data; What to do here? ar & size; } };

What to do with the data pointer?

Is there any way to determine (in the serialize function) if a serialization or "de-serialization" is taking place? And have different behaviours - either allocating a new char[x] or copying data to the archive?

Is there any way to store dynamic data in an archive?

Best regards, Anders Sundman
