Re: [Boost-users] How to select the name of classdefinitioninsteadofvariable name in XML archive

This only works for a small subset of typeid names since many of them are 
not valid XML tags (for one thing any template class cannot be used). And 
you really do not wan to leave out the variable name. I really think the 
library should provide an archive OPTION to include the typename enclosed in 
quotations (preferrably, primitive types should have this options too).

Something like this might be made to work.   Be aware that the tag name will 
vary across compilers.  For the serialization system this won't be problem 
as the tag name really isn't used for anything.  But, depending on what you 
plan to use the tag name for, this might or might not be a problem.

So instead of oa << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(T);

can we use following to have type name printed in xml file ?
oa << boost::serialization::make_nvp(typeid(T).name(), T);
