Perhaps the best resolution is to just make a mix-in class equivalent to the previous helper functionality. It would seem to me that this would give you every thing we both need.
I'm not sure I'm getting this: would you mind elaborating this design?
Hmmm - just to avoid stressing my brain by going into detail, let me just sketch it out. Under the 1.34 helper system, a few calls were added to the class hierarchy at high level. This basically added a set of pointers to helper classes which were handled by smart_ptr so they would automatically be destroyed when the archive was destroyed. If you want this functionality in he new system a) create a "helper manager" class b) move the helper manager code from the 1.34 release into this new class. c) mixin you new "helper manager" along with "naked_text_iarchive" and - voila - you have the old functionality as it was before. I'm sure this wouldn't be hard to do. Actually this is good enough idea that I might just do it in the library so that it would be the default but still leave the naked... archives available for those who don't use smart_ptr or other classes which need help. Food for thought. Robert Ramey
