and xml_archive requires that ALL elements have a name. So
list< boost::serialization::nvp<V> > sl; ... ar & sl; ...
would have to be changed to:
list< boost::serialization::nvp<V> > sl; ... ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(sl); ...
which would be OK... But there is one thing you might not like. You'll see an extra level tags added by the standard serialization of std::list. These tags have the name "item" - because at that level, there is not way to know what name they should have. I'm guessing this would bother you. In that case you should use your own enhanced version of serialization of list items. The first thing I would try would be to make template<class std::list<boost::nvp<T> > > void serialize(boost::archive::xml_archive &ar, std::list<boost::nvp<T> const unsigned int version){ copy the standard implementation eliminating the NVP("item"...) } This would be more specialized than the one based on std::list<T> and hence would take precedence. Assuming this gives you what you want, you could then make versions for all the different collections. And a separate set for xml_warchive. Slightly tedious but a simple process which would solve the problem for eternity. Just included all the above specializations in my_xml_archive.hpp along with inclusion of the standard xml_archive.hpp Robert Ramey michael mathews wrote:
Correct I have a list of NVP's. But that is what I need. The idea is to have a list of name value pairs where the name is used to generate the tag and the value is the value to save. Isn't that how a NVP gets serialized to an xml archive?
I have also tried list< boost::serialization::nvp<V> > sl; ... ar & sl; ... which I thought would work since the elements of the list are NVP's It also gets caught in the trap.

This isn't an NVP - its a list of NVPs
Try list<V> sl; ... ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(sl);

Well I thought it should and I suspect that I am doing something silly but this is basically the class I have:
template <class N, class V> class test { friend class boost::serialization::access; list< boost::serialization::nvp<V> > sl; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(sl);
}
public: { ... } and it gets caught in the compile trap
template<class T> void save_override(T & t, BOOST_PFTO int) { // If your program fails to compile here, its most likely due to // not specifying an nvp wrapper around the variable to // be serialized. BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(0 == sizeof(T)); } I thought that a nvp should be serializable automatically. Ideas? Thanks in advance michael

Hi All,
I have a class that contains a list of name value pairs . I would like the serialization to use the names for the tag names in the xml archive. Is there a way to do this or do I need to write my own custom archive?
Thanks in advance
Michael
