Re: [Boost-users] Serialization of boost::shared_ptr<int>?

I can't see what you're trying to do here.  The following would seem to be 
equivalent to your intention

#include <fstream>
#include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp>
#include <boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp>
#include <boost/serialization/shared_ptr.hpp>
class A {
public:
    friend class boost::serialization::access;
    template<class Archive>
    void serialize(
        Archive& ar, const unsigned int version
    ) {
        ar & aptr;
    }
private:
    A * aptr;
};

int main() {
    std::ofstream ofs("archive");
    boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(ofs);
    const A a;
    oa << a;
    return 0;
}

It doesn't do anything useful but it does compile.

I think you would find that spending some more time
with the documentation and the examples would be
a good investment.
