Hi,
i am planning to use the boost serialization library to implement 
checkpointing for an ASP/Sat solver. Unfortunately, the solver implements one 
(very special) optimization that makes use of a zero-sized array at the end 
of a class.
I have found no way to store something like this using the library. There is a 
small program in the attachment that contains data structures similar to the 
ones used in the solver code. This would need a mechanism to control the 
allocation of memory during deserialization. Do you see any possibility do 
serialize something like this?

Regards and thanks,
Roland
