I like the look of this - though I'm not really familiar enough with boost::tuple to have a strong opinion. I also liked the test. Has this been tested with msvc 6.5? This platform gave me a lot of headaches with serialization of boost::variant but I went through to maintain the idea that serialization is supported on that platform.
Better yet, which platforms has this been tested on?
Does the author of Boost.Tupple have anything to say about this?
The implementation relies on the cons-list implementation of tuples. It is part of the public interface of Boost.Tuple, but not part of the TR1 specification. So if one wants to define serialization so that it works with any TR1 compatible tuple implementation, one must build the metafunctions around the get<N> templates. The downside of this is, that more compiler resources will be used. Also, at some point we'll roll in "Fusion" that will largely replace the current code of Boost.Tuple. Then we'll have more powerful means to iterate over tuples, in the style of MPL. But for now, my suggestion would be to consider implement serialization using TR1 compatible facilities. Or be prepared to change the implementation when fusion is included into boost. Best, Jaakko
Some attention should be paid to serialization traits. Should this be tracked, untracked, or the default. Also should it be versioned. it is now by default which is probably a good choice. Its not that I have any specific ideas regarding this, its just that I think that the defaults should be considered explictly as to their appropriate ness.
