Re: [Boost-users] [Serialization]class(type) name in xml archive?

If you use BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(my_type)

you will get the type name ala class_name="my_type" under the following 
conditions.

a) its a polymorphic derived pointer.
b) its the first time that that type is used

That may be helpful - but that's the best I can do.  Note that the class_id 
# in the xml output indicates which type is being handled.  I would hope 
that some sort of XML viewer could make sense of it.

If you had nothing else to do you could probably enhance this output - I 
already responded to someone who wanted to do this - but I don't remember if 
it was via private email or here.
