2326	"Library does not directly support serializing data of type  ""foo**"""	anonymous	Robert Ramey	"The following example fails to compile, trying to find a .serialize() member function in an int*. Clearly the user can program around this, but serializing pointers-to-pointers seems a natural capability that should be in the library.

#include    <fstream>

#include    ""boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp""

class       foo {

   friend class boost::serialization::access;

   template<class archive>

   void        serialize(archive& ar, const unsigned int version) {

                   ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(buff);

                   ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(ptr);

                   }

public:

               foo() : ptr(&buff[3]) {}

   int*        buff[10];

   int**       ptr;

   };

int main() {

       foo f;

       std::ofstream   serial(""serial"");

       boost::archive::text_oarchive   oa(serial);

       oa << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(f);

       return 0;
