Hi Alessandro,

Attached is a sample program that illustrates how to (de)serialize your vector of lists of pointers to something !!! It should address your needs to start with Boost/Serialization. It runs on my Linux box with gcc 4.5. I hope it will work for you.

Also note that the use of plain pointers (MyObj *) in a container can be tricky unless you can make sure you run suitable memory deallocation code. Of course, it depends on your application but maybe investigating the used of shared pointer (boost::shared_ptr) could be of some interest for you.

Hope it'd help

regards

class MyObj { int val;

public: MyObj(int v){ val = v; }; ~MyObj(){}; };

int main (int argc,char *argv[]) { int i, j; vector< list<MyObj*> > layers;

for(i=0; i<5; i++) { list<MyObj*> tmp;

for(j=0; j<10; j++) tmp.push_back(new MyObj(j) );

layers.push_back(tmp); } return 0; }|

I need to serialize/deserialize the object "layers".

Can anyone give me an example on how to do this with boost serialization library?

Thanks in advance.

I have boost installed from repository, so they are in standard path: /usr/ include and /usr/lib. The only missing thing was the serialization flag which to me is not -lserialization, but -lboost_serialization-mt. I wrote a little make file to compile the example: NAME=p1 CXX=g++ FLAGS=-Wall -pedantic -g -O3 -DDEBUG -march=native -std=c++0x BINDIR=. all: $(NAME) clean: rm -f $(NAME) rm -f ar.txt ar.xml install: $(NAME) cp $(NAME) $(BINDIR) uninstall: rm -f $(BINDIR)/$(NAME) $(NAME): p1.cxx $(CXX) $(FLAGS) -lboost_serialization-mt -o $(NAME) p1.cxx Now it compiles and run perfectly: I can start learning stuff! :-D Merci beaucoup ;-)

Not exactly, it almost compiles but sure does not link ! You must use a linker path option in your build command, otherwize there is no way the compiler/linker can find the proper files if you don't use a Boost installation in some standard /usr location:

I'm using gcc-4.5.2 on an Ubuntu Linux 64 bits with boost-1.42.0.

At line 127 (boost::archive::text_oarchive toa (toafile);), it gives me the following error: g++ -Wall -pedantic -g -O3 -DDEBUG -march=native -std=c++0x -o p1 p1.cxx

Typically, before compiling, a nice thing to setup in your *nix environment is (here for a sh-flavor shell):

# the Boost include path : export BOOST_CFLAGS=-I<path_to_the_boost_include_base_directory>

# the Boost lib path : export BOOST_LDFLAGS=-L<path_to_the_boost_libs_base_directory> \ -lserialization

# Also add the DLL path for runtime DLL resolution : export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\ <path_to_the_boost_libs_base_directory>:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

# Build it : g++ -Wall -pedantic -g -O3 -DDEBUG -march=native -std=c++0x \ ${BOOST_CFLAGS}-o p1 p1.cxx ${BOOST_LDFLAGS}

# Run : ./p1

Have I a too old version of the libraries maybe?

Hi Alessandro,

Attached is a sample program that illustrates how to (de)serialize your vector of lists of pointers to something !!! It should address your needs to start with Boost/Serialization. It runs on my Linux box with gcc 4.5. I hope it will work for you.

Also note that the use of plain pointers (MyObj *) in a container can be tricky unless you can make sure you run suitable memory deallocation code. Of course, it depends on your application but maybe investigating the used of shared pointer (boost::shared_ptr) could be of some interest for you.

Hope it'd help

regards

using namespace std;

class MyObj { int val;

public: MyObj(int v){ val = v; }; ~MyObj(){}; };

int main (int argc,char *argv[]) { int i, j; vector< list<MyObj*> > layers;

for(i=0; i<5; i++) { list<MyObj*> tmp;

for(j=0; j<10; j++) tmp.push_back(new MyObj(j) );

layers.push_back(tmp); } return 0; }|

I need to serialize/deserialize the object "layers".

Can anyone give me an example on how to do this with boost serialization library?

Thanks in advance.
