Hi Jari, As far as I know (and have used it for years), boost::shared_ptr<> is fully supported by Boost/Serialization. Particularly I use a wrapper template class with a boost::shared_ptr<> attribute. There is also additionnal code to equip this wrapper class with the ::boost::serialization::track_never trait. At the end, it works perfectly. regards frc --

Le 23/04/2013 00:31, Jari a écrit : no one has answered yet. my main question simply is does boost serialization support smart pointers or is that more or less unimplemented yet? i maybe trying to use boost to something it can't do.

thanks

hi i have couple questions about boost serilazation regarding shared pointers. First off i was wondering if boost::shared_ptr has working serilazation code? if so maybe i can learn from there.

What's im trying to do is save fairly simple custom shared-pointer class. All it should take is to save the pointer in the class and ref count as well the Parent variable which is pointer to the parent shared-pointer.

what needs to be considered for this? should i disable tracking for the shared-pointer and does the pointer stored in the shared-pointer require some special considerations?

thanks.
