The problem only occurs when program 1 contains only

But if only program 2 contains ar >> Tptr - how does the archive it's supposed to read get created? It can be only created by a program which also contains ar << Tptr. That is in order for serialization to make any sense at all both programs have to contain exactly the same sequence of loads and saves. Hence. they will both either serializations for the same set of types at compiler time.
I've been following this discussion, but now I'm a bit confused. If program A contains ar << T and program B contains ar << Tptr, can program C read from files produced by both programs A and B? (C would thus require ar >> T in the code that reads files produced by A and ar
Tptr when reading files produced by B.)
I certainly think it "ought to", but as I understand it from the discussion, only the files produced by program B would be readable by program C. --Jeffrey Bosboom
