[Boost.Serialization] Detecting if Boost.Serialization is supported for a type
Hi, I have two methods of serialization and I would like to choose between them. One is Boost.Serialization and the other is my hand-made one. Is there any (relatively) portable way that can allow to find out if Boost.Serialization is supported either through the intrusive or the non-intrusive way without requiring from the user to add more in her class to define the serialization method? Thanks

The library is built on the idea that one would make his own archive class for this. Robert Ramey

Yes, but this implies that my serialization uses also the T::serialize() function, which is not the case. Moreover, I want to use Boost.Serialization as another means of serialization that can be disabled and not derive from it. My method uses a different function for that reason. It would be really useful to have a method of identifying if Boost.Serialization is supported through a trait. I successfully made a template supports_boost_serialization<T> that detects if T::serialize() exists. However, I cannot address the case of a stand-alone serialize() function - since there is a generic boost::serialization::serialize(Archive&, T&, const unsigned int), there is not way (that I know of) to figure out if non-intrusive serialization exists for a specific T.

look at boost/serialization/level.hpp and level_enum.hpp I doubt that it will help though Robert Ramey

Hmm, I've looked at it, but I can't find anything that works. Is there any need/will to provide a boost::serialization::is_serializable<T> trait? Thanks
