I could use this as well. Either this or making those members protected so I can access from a derived class of my own.

It looks like this ticket could be closed. There is a macro that would allow a user to access the members:

#undef BOOST_DYNAMIC_BITSET_PRIVATE #define BOOST_DYNAMIC_BITSET_PRIVATE protected #include <boost\dynamic_bitset.hpp>

@brandon.kohn This looks more like a hack to me as the intention here is just to be compatible with boost::serialization, and not to provide direct access to private members.

Frankly, I would like to hear what the dynamic_bitset maintainer thinks as there are several years-old tickets like this that have no final statement, neither there was any feedback on boost mailing list.

Unfortunately, no tests are provided with the patch and dynamic_bitset is in maintenance mode, therefore this ticket will be closed until it is reopened with test cases provided.

Does it really need a test case because it serializes an integer and a vector which are presumably unit tested by boost::serialization library?

I also have to resort to #define BOOST_DYNAMIC_BITSET_DONT_USE_FRIENDS hack.
