[Boost-users] Boost.Serialization and size of archive

Hi,

Is there any means of obtaining how big my archive will be before 
actually serializing? Something like a special boost::archive that will 
count the size of what I'm serializing. I'm mainly concerned on 
allocating exactly the space I'll be needing for binary_oarchives.

I guess I should follow the SA concept (since I'm trying to find the 
size before saving) but how can I know any extra overhead?

Thanks
