Hi,
I have two methods of serialization and I would like to choose between them. One is Boost.Serialization and the other is my hand-made one.
The library is built on the idea that one would make his own archive class for this.
Yes, but this implies that my serialization uses also the T::serialize() function, which is not the case. Moreover, I want to use Boost.Serialization as another means of serialization that can be disabled and not derive from it. My method uses a different function for that reason. It would be really useful to have a method of identifying if Boost.Serialization is supported through a trait. I successfully made a template supports_boost_serialization<T> that detects if T::serialize() exists. However, I cannot address the case of a stand-alone serialize() function - since there is a generic boost::serialization::serialize(Archive&, T&, const unsigned int), there is not way (that I know of) to figure out if non-intrusive serialization exists for a specific T.

Is there any (relatively) portable way that can allow to find out if Boost.Serialization is supported either through the intrusive or the non-intrusive way without requiring from the user to add more in her class to define the serialization method?
Thanks
