Hi,
Object-based persistency/serialization libraries often require significant modifications to the code. Would Boost consider adding a process-level checkpointing library to boost?
This is obviously not easily portable, so I understand this is a long shot. If it is relevant, we might contribute a package used by my team that support multiple Linux platforms.
Can it, in principle, be ported to other known platforms?
Yes, it can be ported. However, the porting requires low-level understanding of the target OS/architecture. While our Linux solution is rather portable, porting can (in theory) be non-trivial and require more than just recompilation on another platform.
That's fine; the same applies to a threading library, for example. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
