[Boost-users] Serialization of heterogeneous sequence using shared_ptr<void>

Dear All,

I'm trying to figure out if something like the below is possible with 
the serialization library.  The
idea is to serialize a heterogeneous sequence using shared_pointer<void>.

thanks for any help

void
hetero_sequence()
{
     // create and open a character archive for output
    std::ofstream ofs("dictionary.pickle");
    boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(ofs);

    std::deque<boost::shared_ptr<void> > sequence;    
    sequence.push_back(boost::shared_ptr<string>(new string("random 
string")));
    sequence.push_back(boost::shared_ptr<double>(new double(3.1415627)));
    sequence.push_back(boost::shared_ptr<bool>(new bool(false)));
    
    // write class instance to archive
    oa << sequence;
    // close archive
    ofs.close();
}
