I have not used the macro as said in tutorial in the definition of class but thought the .h file will be a better place for it. I think it would be great if either one of those would happen: - the problem with duplicated guid if the BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID is called twice from different CU - the prevention mechanism would be incorporated in macro (for instance if the guid is registered with a same class, second macro is expanded into nothing) If the 2nd option is impossible if the documentation would explicitly say that such code: duplicate symbol __ZN5boost7archive6detail12extra_detail9init_guid is the result of registering class twice it could save some time with investigation.
