Regarding upgrading Boost.Serialization to C++14, you could start by looking at Cereal, which is a C++11 reimplementation of Boost.Serialization:
Of course I've looked at this - at least the documentation and github page. It looks interesting. I think the Cereal webpage and documentation downplays the importance of a number of features they chose not to implement. It's very hard to make a real comparison without trying to use it in a real, complex project. On the other hand, if one wanted to add something to the standard, doing something smaller and simpler than Boost serialization might be good idea. On the other hand, remember why boost (and standard) libraries get so elaborate,comprehensive and (therefore complicated) in the first place. It's because review committees have members with widely varying visions and to make through the gauntlet requires adding in just about everything but the kitchen sink. This is one reason why I have a lot of reservations about the whole concept of of the "standard library". Maybe the world is a better place if it has room for various serialization libraries which implement similar ideas but with different choices and compromises. A standard library can't do this. We'll keeping an eye on it. -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/List-of-C-11-only-Boost-libraries-and-the...
