使用Boost.Serialization时更改STL容器的序列化

我希望扩展Boost序列化库,使STL集合以不同于Boost序列化库提供的格式保存到XML档案。

如果我是正确的,所有STL容器在序列化期间都会传递以下函数:

// <boost/serialization/collections_save_imp.hpp>

namespace boost{ namespace serialization { namespace stl {

template<class Archive, class Container>
inline void save_collection(Archive & ar, const Container &s)
{
    /* ... */
}

} } }

所以我试图为xml_oarchive重载此函数。这是我的方法的一个小例子:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

#include <boost/archive/xml_oarchive.hpp>
#include <boost/serialization/vector.hpp>

namespace boost { namespace serialization { namespace stl {

template< typename Container >
inline void save_collection( boost::archive::xml_oarchive& ar, Container const& s )
{
  /* My serialization */
}

} } }

int main()
{
  {
    boost::archive::xml_oarchive ar( std::cout );

    std::vector< int > x;

    x.push_back( -1 );
    x.push_back(  1 );
    x.push_back( 42 );
    x.push_back(  0 );

    ar << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP( x );
  }

  return 0;
}

它编译并运行。但它并没有调用我的功能,而是Boost提供的功能。我需要做什么/更改以使我的STL容器序列化工作?

答案 0 :(得分:0)

最后,我想出了解决问题的方法:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

namespace boost { namespace archive { class xml_oarchive; } }

namespace boost { namespace serialization { namespace stl { 


  /* Two template parameters are needed here because at the caller side
   * a function with two template parameters is explicitly requested. */
  template< typename, typename Container >
  void save_collection( boost::archive::xml_oarchive&, Container const& )
  {
      /* ... */
  }

} } }
/* Note that this is before the boost includes. */

#include <boost/archive/xml_oarchive.hpp>
#include <boost/serialization/vector.hpp>


int main()
{
  {
    boost::archive::xml_oarchive ar( std::cout );

    std::vector< int > x;

    x.push_back( -1 );
    x.push_back(  1 );
    x.push_back( 42 );
    x.push_back(  0 );

    ar << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP( x );
  }

  return 0;
}
