boost::serialization for logging?
I'd like to know what pitfalls there might be if one attempts to use boost::serialization for logging the internal state of certain objects to disk at various times during a program run. Thanks, Dave

Serialization is straightforward. There are costs of time and effort involved, but no pitfalls beyond the obvious. Bill

Depends what you mean by 'logging' and how you plan to use the logs. If you want to look at logs with our eyes, beware that text archives are not very readable and even XML archives might be not readable enough for you. - Volodya
