There's BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT. Take a look at http://www.rrsd.com/boost/libs/serialization/doc/traits.html#export

Thanks for the link. However, the current BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT mechanism will not work with DLLs. That's because global/static variable (the extended_type_info_typeid instance) is not shared by DLLs.

I think this used to work for my project, which uses DLL.

I guess we may have to make the serialization library a dll and export the extended_type_info_typeid instance as a global variable.

Probably, the reason it worked for me is that I had shared library.. - Volodya
