[Boost-users] Serializing vector<int>

From: Alec Gorjestani (alecg_at_[hidden])

Hi,

I am new to boost, but was able to get my own classes serialized. 
However, when I include <boost/serialization/vector.hpp> and try to 
serialize a vector<int> I get the compile messages below. I must be 
missing something.

class myclass2 : public Serializable<myclass2> // inherit Serializable 
to become a serializable object
{
private:

// Override the serialize method, listing all variables to (un)serialize
friend class boost::serialization::access;
template<class Archive>
void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) {
ar & mc;
ar & vint;
}
public:
myclass2() {};
~myclass2() {};

void Print() {
mc[0].Print();
mc[1].Print();
}
std::vector<int> vint;
myclass mc[2];
};

if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -Wall -I../../src 
-I/ivlab/include -I/ivlab/include -I/usr/include/libxml2 -g -O2 -MT 
test_serializable.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/test_serializable.Tpo" -c -o 
test_serializable.o test_serializable.cpp; \
then mv -f ".deps/test_serializable.Tpo" ".deps/test_serializable.Po"; 
else rm -f ".deps/test_serializable.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
