Re: [Boost-users] [serialization] Re-serialization ??

One way to do that could be to use the Memento pattern, as described in 
the book "Design Patterns" by Gamma et al.

That is, create a new object that encapsulates the state of the original 
object. The state object would be the one serialized and de-serialized, 
and passed into and out of the original objects to modify the state.
