Re: [Boost-users] [serialization] serializing dynamic arrays of integral types

If class A from the example is replaced by char, how should this situation be handled? Code follows at the end.

This is not recommended. Fundamental types are not tracked by default, so it won't work. You'd have to turn on tracking for char, but that is not a good idea, since then _all_ values of type char that are tracked, and this can cause quite a bit of overhead. If you really need a pointer that directly points into an array (and you can't redesign the code), you could wrap the array elements in a different type that can be tracked in your serialization code. All pointers into the array would also need to be wrapped when serialized. Regards, Martin
