I'm stumped as to why my template typedef simulation doesn't work with
serialization.
Here's a simple example:
template<typename T>
struct A {
};
template<typename T>
struct B {
typedef A<T> type;
};
namespace boost { namespace serialization {
template
inline void serialize (Archive &ar, typename B<T>::type & v, const
unsigned int file_version) { <<< This won't work
//inline void serialize (Archive &ar, A<T> & v, const unsigned int
file_version) { <<< This is OK
boost::serialization::split_free (ar, v, file_version);
}
}
}
I expected typename B<T>::type is equivalent to A<T>, but gcc-4.1.2 doesn't
agree. The latter compiles, but the 1st gives:
/usr/local/src/boost.hg/boost/serialization/access.hpp:109: error: ‘struct
A<int>’ has no member named ‘serialize’
