[serialization and asio] Trying to serialize asio IPs
Hello, my name is Eoin O'Callaghan. I wasn't sure if this email should have been sent to ASIOs own mailing list or this Boost one, hopefully this was an ok place. My bit of bother is in trying to use Boost.Serialization to save some IP addresses stored internally as Boost.ASIO asio::ip::address_v4 and address_v6 classes. I wonder has anyone any pointers as my attempts thus far are not getting me anywhere? The IP classes can be constructed from, and exported to, boost::array<unsigned char, ##> types so a solution for boost::arrays would probably be one road to a solution but unfortunately I can't successfully write a serialize function for boost::array. I've held back from posting my own attempts to save myself from embarrassment. But will do so if someone wants to see what I've tried. Kind regards, Eoin. -- Eoin O'Callaghan <eoin@zl.vc>
As far as I know, no one has written serialization functions for any of the asio classes nor for boost::array. This should be relatively straight forward however. For boost::array look at the code included for serialization of std::vector and/or for the array wrapper class in the HEAD. Robert Ramey

Should we consider adding serialization support for tr1::array in Boost 1.35? -- AlisdairM
Hello, thank you all for your replies. I was able to get a working solution for the asio ip classes by using their string representations.

I think would be an excellent addition as t1::arrays are much nicer to work with at times. Kind regards, Eoin.
