https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9253 <p> Hi: I would like to use the boot serialization library with the C++11 std::u16string type. When I use it with a text archive I get the following error. Could you elaborate on the plans by when we will be having support for this. For now, we can get workaround the issue by writing our own non-intrusive "load" and "save" methods for u16string, but would prefer built in serialization support for it like std::string. </p> <p> Please find below the stack trace for the error. </p> <p> Thanks </p> <p> boost/include/boost/serialization/access.hpp: In instantiation of 'static void boost::serialization::access::serialize(Archive&amp;, T&amp;, unsigned int) [with Archive = boost::archive::text_oarchive;
