Hi,

I have a class structure like

class MemberClass;

class ContainerClass {

  MemberClass special_member;

  int other_members;

};

Following the example in http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_66_0/libs/serialization/doc/

i want to write a non-intrusive serialization:

template<class Archive>

void serialize(Archive & ar, ContainerClass & c, const unsigned int version)

{

  ar & c.other_members; // easy - built-in type

  serialize(ar, c.special_member, version);  //use same version???

}

Assuming there's is also a non-intrusive

void serialize(Archive & ar, MemberClass & m, const unsigned int version);

this compiles and works but i feel this is not the way to do it because it reuses the version number of the container class for the member class? So how to handle that? Must the Container class manage version of its members individually?

I suggest to add a section "Non-intrusively Serializable Members" to documentation with an example.

Cheers,

Lars R.
