Please help! How do I create a serializable object in C++(NOT VC++)

[Gandu]

Could some C++ guru please help me? I am using standard GNU C++ compiler
on a Linux box, sometimes on a Solaris server. I was wondering if someone
could provide some pointers as to how to create serializable objects? Any
help would be much appreciated ... thanks in advance for your help.

For starters, read the FAQ's section on serialization
(http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/serialization.html).

Arbitrarily serializable objects, whatever your language, compiler, or
platform, are a solution in search of a problem.

You need to grab an XML library for your platform, and then write whatever
individual variables you need to it. Write complementary code that pulls
them out. The benefit is you can read XML with a text editor, a Web browser,
or any number of customized tools.

See the new serialization library from www.boost.org. It's to be released as
part of boost 1.32.0 out later this month, and can be used now from the CVS.
