I want to suggest 2 changes that would be helpful at least to me, that relate to serialization.
I use serialization with mersenne_twister and python. To support this 2 changes are needed:
1) serialization must be build as a shared library. I know this doesn't work on all platforms, but I believe it works on at least some, and therefore should be supported.
Done in 1.33
2) Please add support for serialization to mersenne_twister.hpp. All that's needed is this:
template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & x; ar & i; }
Hmm - well, if this doesn't make it into boost, I presume its not a obstacle for you.
Not sure what you mean. It is an obstacle. I use boost::python to to wrap boost::random, and want serialization. I am giving my code to others, and now the only way to make it work is for them to patch mersenne_twister.hpp, (as well as building serialization as a shared lib).
