c++ - serializing classes using boost serialization without changing the class -

this piece of code has written every time make class i.e.from template<class archive> ar & boost_serialization_nvp(b) . how can make short? , how can serialize stl containers ?

 class employee   {  private:           friend class boost::serialization::access;       template<class archive> void serialize(archive & ar,               const unsigned int version)        {           ar & boost_serialization_nvp(a);           ar & boost_serialization_nvp(b);       }        int a;      int b;   public:       employee(int a, int b)       {           this->a = a;           this->b = b;      }   };  

i suggest start documentation :)

• http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/serialization/doc/index.html (start under serializable concept)

stl containers serializable when include relevant header:

#include <boost/serialization/map.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/string.hpp> 

a host of other stuff supported out of box.

you could make generic wrappers types have been made "reflectible" other means (e.g. fusion sequences, qt qobjects etc.)
