[serialization] "Wrapper Type?"
Hi, The documentation uses this term AFAICT without definition anywhere. How am I supposed to know that what I've defined is a "wrapper type" and is_wrapper should be specialized? TIA, -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Thanks. Could you please do a global search for "wrapper" in your docs and make sure that all uses of the term with that meaning are hyperlinked to that section? Thanks again, -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Also, can you give a more complete definition of the term? In particular, what special properties of wrapper types, other than that you need to be able to serialize them when they're const, are enabled by specializing is_wrapper? Thanks, -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
you might ask Mathias to look into this. He implemented the is_wrapper and augmented the documentation to support it. Robert Ramey David Abrahams wrote:
