The sample I provided is basically the simplest version of my code
that, nonetheless, will not compile.

In my code, it's much more complicated. Basically, I have class A, and
class A has static member variables that are STL containers containing
objects of type boost::shared_ptr<A>.
But I tried to simplify it as much as possible to the basic piece
which will not compile, which is what I provided in my last message.

I suspect that if I could get the sample code (where A contains Aptr)
working, then I'd be able to get my entire program serialized.

Unfortunately, I have to use smart_ptr's. Otherwise, managing object
deletion will be extremely complicated.

I agree; I'm trying to understand the serialization library better so
that I can answer my own questions. Nonetheless, if you are able to
suggest a way to get serialization to work with class A containing
static member variables of type boost::shared_ptr<A>, I'd be most
appreciative.

Thanks for your help so far.

   Best,
