[Boost-users] [Serialization and C++11] Using std::unique_ptr with boost::serialization

Hello.

I am trying to serialize a node of a DP composite. This would probably 
be straightforward if I used raw pointers, but I am using 
std::unique_ptr.

I am not sure it is possible, since I tried to find the word unique_ptr 
in my /usr/include/boost directory and found almost nothing (except 
interprocess and chrono which have been installed for other purposes).

So, is there is a way to use serialization on unique_ptr, or is there 
is a reason to avoid doing this?

Note:
I have made some tries with using boost::serialization on my objects as 
if they were raw pointers and it have obviously failed, because expected 
type seems to be only raw pointer and unique_ptr is not compatible with 
it.
