Re: [boost] Comparison of serialization results
Dave Abrahams:
No post-hock marshalling? You should be able to add marshalling to a class without modifying its declaration.
If a class is popular enough, I often do. For example, the C++ Middleware Writer (CMW) has support for the standard containers, std::complex, multi_index_container, stable_vector and others. [...]
No argument; I'm just sayin'.
I don't have to go to any great lengths to find tests where the performance of executables that use Boost Serialization lags behind CMW based executables. I just think up a test and write it. The tests are quite basic.
That's a fundamentally intrusive design; being able to add serialization non-intrusively was a major design goal for Boost.Serialization.
I see. One thing I didn't mention yesterday is support for stream- based constructors: class Base { template <typename R> explicit Base (ReceiveBufferFile<R>& buf); ... }; Does the Boost Serialization library have support for that? Cheers, Brian Wood Ebenezer Enterprises http://webEbenezer.net

I mean a user should be able to do that.
