I’m working with a c++ project that has a lot of COM functions. The majority of the inputs and outputs are VARIANTs. Is there an easy way to serialize/deserialize these into long, string, etc using Boost?

Boost has absolutely nothing with regards to Microsoft’s COM technology. The closest thing to COM’s variant in Boost would be
boost::any. You can write COM’svariant_ttoboost::anyconverter, then you can serialize, cast etc.
