I though boost.serialization was written by you?
The example is quite distinct from the library being used... In other words, there is a special quality of Boost.Serialization that is of importance: it exists. So, we are allowed to use it, and by using it, we have to write very little code ourselves, beside a number of include statements. Great!
And that code still has to be parsed by the compiler.
This is a different issue. Is that your problem, that you think compilers have a problem with some complex constructs inside the Boost.Serialization library? Does the compiler fail? Consume too much resources? Too much time? /David
