I have a template class that I serialize (call it C), for which I want to specify a version for boost serialization. As BOOST_CLASS_VERSION does not work for template classes. I tried this:
namespace boost { namespace serialization { template< typename T, typename U > struct version< C<T,U> > { typedef mpl::int_<1> type; typedef mpl::integral_c_tag tag; BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT(unsigned int, value = version::type::value); }; } }
but it does not compile. Under VC8, a subsequent call to BOOST_CLASS_VERSION gives this error:
error C2913: explicit specialization; 'boost::serialization::version' is not a specialization of a class template
What is the correct way to do it?
