C++ Object serialization?

[BCC]

Hi,

Is it possible to serialized objects in c++? Large objects with
pointers, other objects, etc. in them?

I have an application that performs a time consuming analysis, and it
would be wonderful if I could save the analysis object with all its
values in a database or on disk.

Thanks,
B

Yes you can. This is addressed in the FAQ for this newsgroup. Please take
a look at the FAQ if you plan on hanging around here.

Hint: serch the FAQ for serialization. There's actually a lot there.

The Boost library includes a serialization library:
