[boost] boost::function and boost::serialize

I would like to be able to serialize boost::function objects with the boost::serialize library, and i 
really don't know anything about the internal structure of boost::function nor how it works, and 
when trying to read the headers i really get lost there.
So could anyone give me a hint or something on how to make a wrapper for boost::function (i 
know that function address might change from executable to executable, and also for run to 
run, that's why i thought "adding" a translator, that i assing a name to each function i have a 
pointer to, and when it serializes it it saves the name, and when loading, it search the address 
of the function with that name)...

if you know how this could be done, or have any hint i will greatly appreaciate it...

Also i would like to know how boost::serialize handles the shared pointers, because i my own 
designed objects with reference counting, and i don't know how to serialize them (to preserve 
shared behavior), and also i have the doubt, what happens, if i have an object shared 8 times in 
memory, and i only serialize it 4 times, so when i load it again, the counter will say 8 or 4?.

Thanks you very much...
