Subject: [Boost-users] [Serialization] This compiles; but does it work?
From: Merrill Cornish (merrill.cornish_at_[hidden])

mGraphFile is a data member of type boost:filesystem::path, which isn't
(as I understand) handled natively by Boost Serialization. I could define
template<class Archive>
void serialize(Archive& ar, boost::filesystem::path& p,
const unsigned int version);
but it is needed in only one place.
Below is an excerpt from an inline serialization function that I'm
already using. While it has a redundant step not needed for loading and
a different redundant step not needed for storing, it would seem to do
what I need. (The minor inefficiency of the redundant statements is of
no concern here.)
...
std::string str = mGraphFile.string(); // redundant if loading
ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(str);
mGraphFile = str; // redundant if saving
...
Can anyone tell me if this will work, or do I need to implement the
serialize() function?
