Aaaa - I would have to spend some time to look into that.
Isn't this the debate we have had so many times?
well, we havn't had it lately.
But this is actually a little different since this is calling a member function inside serialization. Since save(...) is a const member funtion, the f() would have to be const. if you can't make f() const, you've got something to look into.
The member function wasn't my point at all. I just want to be able to save rvalues.
Have you had a chance to look into this? I've been using a patched version of the library that adds the stated overload and it is working great. Taking out the patch means that where I ought to have been able to simply write ar << f(); I am forced to write code like this: typename nasty_trait_to_compute_return_type<foo>::type x = f(); ar << x; Nasty.
