Hello, there is utility code for serializing an adjancency_list graph to an archive in the BGL. But I wonder about two things: 1) I have a list of descriptors in my program. This list is a selection of vertices. If I want to serialize my program's states, I need to serialize the graph as well as this selection. This means I have to serialize references to vertices. Now AFAIK I cannot simply serialize descriptors, because they essentially are pointers. I need a persistent ID. Is there existing functionality for this? If not, I have to either use one of the vertex properties as ID, or autogenerate IDs (for example, by using casting the descriptors to an intptr_t and using this value as ID) and upon deserialization use these for mapping the right descriptors back into the list. 2) One vertex property is a map of boost::any values. map < string, any
to be exact. Does the BGL serialize the properties? If so, how does it deal with boost::any constructs?
