I presume that real imag return either primitives(float or double) or references to these. So that tracking would not be an issue.
template<typename Archive, typename T> inline void load (Archive &ar, std::complex<T>& z, const unsigned int) { T i, r; ar >> r; ar >> i; z = std::complex<T> (r, i); }
Hmm, loading to a temporary and then moving to a final destination could create an issue with tracking. There are a couple of possibilities:
* if real/imag return references, then reformulate the above to: ar >> real(z); ar >> imag(z); since this is now symetric with the save one could avoid the split entirely and simplify it even more.
* use reset_object_address
You and I both wish real() and imag() returned a ref!!! But they don't. So I have: template<typename Archive, typename T> inline void load (Archive &ar, std::complex<T>& z, const unsigned int) { T i, r; ar >> boost::serialization::make_nvp ("real", r); ar >> boost::serialization::make_nvp ("imag", i); z = std::complex<T> (r, i); } Now how can I use reset_object_address, now that the the addresses of the real and imag pieces of the constructed object are no longer accessable?
