BTW, I'm using boost 1.35 and GCC 4.2.2. Hi Robert, I've tried this - but I get errors later on with invalid const conversion in the serialize function of TableMgr for each members. Looks like I need to cascade const changes to all the classes. At this point that's overkill for me since my idea to try with text archive was to verify that save is happening correctly. So I've decided for now to proceed with restore routine with binary archive itself. Now, how do I need to call this with TableMgr as this is singleton with return value of pointer type (internal implementation is using non-pointer static object and instance() returns address of it)? None of following approaches compiles //Assume my input archive object is iarchive 1) TableMgr *tblMgr = TableMgr::instance(); iarchive >> tblMgr; 2) TableMgr *tblMgr = TableMgr::instance(); iarchive >> (TableMgr&)(*tblMgr); // with output archive similar approach works 3) iarchive >> TableMgr::instance() // similar usage works in some other code when instance() returns ref // I guess this is equivalent of (1) anyway If these approaches are correct, I think some problem must be there with serialize() methods. I can concentrate there in that case. If these approaches are incorrect, please guide me how should I use it. Thanks, ~ Soumen Robert Ramey wrote:

const TableMgr *tblMgr = TableMgr::instance(); if (tblMgr) { oarchive << tblMgr; }
