Hi David,
1) I don't like the non-intrusive way of specifying the
version/save/load operation.
a non-intrusive method is required to implement serialization for classes that
you don't want to change. For example, the library includes serialization
for all STL containers with without changing STL itself. This would
permit easy and optional addition of serialization to any class that
might benefit from it
Alberto, if I understand him right, was objecting to use of "serialization"
class for implementing non-intrusive serialization, and was proposing
free functions for the same purpose. The fact that non-instrusive
serialization is needed in general is not disputed.
2) A most needed addition to the design is to provide a sort of
"registry" object.....
This has been a hot topic. It is really not possible to achieve the
desired results. I will add a section to th rationale explaining this
in detail,
Why wont't the scheme I describe in my recent email
(with topic "Serialization Submission version 6") work?
