Hi all,

I'm new to BOOST and need help with this kind of problem of pointers serialization:

 

class A{

public:

A(int *anInt):m_pi(anInt){}

~A(){}

private:

int *m_pi;

};

 

class B{

public:

B(int *anInt):m_a1(anInt),m_a2(anInt){}

~B(){}

private:

A m_a1;

A m_a2;

};

 

int main()

{

int i=1;

B b(&i);

//serialize b

 

i=2;

//serialize b

 

//de-serialize b   expected i = 1   and b.m_a1=b.m_a2=1

//de-serialize b  expected i = 2   and b.m_a1=b.m_a2=2

 

}

 

 

 

Now, assuming that there are serialization functions for class A and B I'd like to serialize object b swice with track never so that when de-serializing b I'd like b to contain a pointer to the location of i. The problem is that when I de-serializing b  I notice that b doesn't pointer to the location of i anymore but to another location.

I need this for serializing of communication, so I need to save all the data trough a pointer and read the data back step by step for preprocessing to the same location in the memory.

 

Is there anything I can do to overcome this problem with pointers?

 

Thank you in advance, Anna.
