Re: [Boost-users] serialize explicit template instantiation

Try

///////////////////////// without effect 
////////////////////////////////////
template void 
CSerTest::serialize<boost::archive::xml_oarchive>(boost::archive::xml_oarchive&, 
const unsigned int );  // add const !!!

Also a couple of unrelated suggestions:

// Class.hpp

// the following will bloat your code even whenever you use this header even 
when not actually using
// xml_?archives - so better not to include it here:
//#include <boost/archive/xml_oarchive .hpp>
//#include <boost/archive/xml_iarchive.hpp>
....

// main.cpp

#include <fstream>
#include "Class.hpp"

#include <boost/archive/xml_oarchive .hpp>
#include <boost/archive/xml_iarchive.hpp>

///////////////////////// without effect 
////////////////////////////////////
template void 
CSerTest::serialize<boost::archive::xml_oarchive>(boost::archive::xml_oarchive&, 
const unsigned int );  // "const" added!! to match template in declaration

int main()
{
    const CSerTest instance; // check rationale on this.

    std::ofstream ofs( "out_file.txt" );
    boost::archive::xml_oarchive oxa( ofs );

    oxa << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(instance);
}

**** this should work.
