A final question: I have an application that saves analysis results for a given analysis as an HDF5 file. http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/ This HDF5 file initially contains only input to the analysis. The HDF5 file is then fed to another program which modifies it and stores back results. 1. Is it possible to to make boost.persistent write its data to an HDF5 file?
although theoretically possible (see "Extending Boost.Persistent") I don't think I would advise to do so. that'd be like you decided you wanted to use MySQL to process some data, but instead of exporting the data when you're done you decide to write a MySQL storage backend that can write to your file format.
Ok. I won't go down this path then :)
I actually would have exactly the same need, so maybe we can discuss whether this might not be still be feasible, once the library is finished. Matthias
