Subject: [boost] [serialization] load-only or save-only types?
From: David Abrahams (dave_at_[hidden])

Hi,

I want to send out instances of one type and receive the same data
format but build instances of a different type. Obviously I can just
define serialize() for each of them, but can I define only save for the
outgoing type and load for the incoming one, causing serialization in
the other direction to be a compile-time error? Not a big deal, but it
would be more expressive that way.

TIA,
