Re: [Boost-users] [serialization] Overriding serialization of classpointer types

Rather than what you have below - just try

BOOST_SERIALIZATION_SPLIT_FREE(creaturesImage);

By default - pointers to primitive types aren't serializable.  I'm not
sure why you used the BOOST_CLASS_IMP.. below but it
would seem to me in appropriate in your case.  If you do this
you will be able to do;

const creaturesImage *pci;
...
ar << pci;

...
creaturesImage *new_pci;
ar >> new_pci

assert(*pci == *new_pci);

In fact, given the size of your application, making a little program
like the above to test your serialization code separately, is
probably a good idea anyway.

Good Luck
