Hi,
I'm considering using boost::serialization but have a few questions
which I would love to get answered.
1) In the overview section performance is nowhere to be seen as a
goal, which for my use case is very important. If I were to use the
binary archive, how well would it perform in comparsion to a hand
crafted optimized serialization aproach? I've seen in the examples
that strings seems to be used to identify data, won't this create a
large overhead for both deserilzation and storage?
2) I saw the thread about the reason for boost::any not being
serializable. But I don't really care about portability, so in that
case, is it possible to implement a non intrusive serialization
aproach to boost::any? Would really appreciate some little snippet for
that if that is the case. If that's not possible my last option would
naturally be to make an intrusive implementation, I see no obvious
aproach here since I can't make a virtual template function, so I'm
kind of hoping someone could push me in the right direction if it
comes to this.
Besides this I can only say that the library have a very slick
interface and I really dig the design :)
