My idea is based on fact that you (program developer or another developer) know what is going to be send. What you are trying to do is erasing the type to some base and that would not work.

So you send event must handle derived type and put it correctly to variant. A possible solution would be:

template<class EventType_> void sendEvent(EventType_ const& ev) { m_eventContainer = ev; //<- now compiler knows exactly the type of ev m_derivedHelper->dispatchEvent(&m_eventContainer); }

Hi all, Probably answered before but I have a little problem I use a template class : template<int N> struct A { // Do Something } ; And I would like serialized this in binary file (with template argument). Do you know a solution (with boost library or not) knowing this class must have a integer template argument ? Best Regards, Pierre Soory for my english, it is not very good

The problem is not when I serialize class (save) but, when I load class, How I can instanciate template class ? Best Regards, Pierre Salmon

Any reason the following wouldn't work?

Hello again, I actually have another question. Although the solution now works, it's still not perfect. The problem is the actual variant. Right now, i have a separate header file which has a typedef for my variant, i.e. typedef boost::variant event_container; Multiple files that are involved in the messaging service use this typedef. It works perfectly well. However, in the long run, for every custom event that is derived from Event, a framework user would have to go play around in this header to add the custom type, which is definatly something i would like to avoid (for obvious reasons). Since i will have to use mpl::vectors anyway to construct my variant (there could possibly be hundreds of events), i was wondering if there would be a way of constructing the vector "along the way", i.e. if every Event derived class could add to the vector, and then i could in the end construct my variant based on that. I have barely started reading up on mpl, so i'm not really sure how to go about this. I was thinking of something like struct list_helper { typedef boost::mpl::vector< FWK::AGENT::Event > type; } This would be my starter type. But how can i push new elements into this vector, especially since all the calls would be in separate files ? I also would have to make sure that the call to boost::make_variant_over would always happen after all the events are added. I looked a little over the serialization library's BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT, which i figured is "kind" of what i want to do, but in my case, i think it's simpler. However, i'm still stuck for now. Thanks for any help in advance, Lukasz K. Ovanes Markarian wrote:
