I ran into a problem when serialising shared pointers with Cereal. I have the following class struture:
class Source
{
std::string name;
template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & archive)
{
archive(name);
std::cout << "SN: " << "(" << m_Name << ")";
}
};
class Event
{
std::shared_ptr<Source> source;
const std::shared_ptr<Source>& getSource() const
{
return source;
}
template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & archive)
{
archive(source);
std::clog << "EN: " << "(" << getSource()->getName() << ")" << "ENP: " << source.get() << std::endl;
}
};
By running my main code I have the following output:
SN: (l_32)EN: (l_32)ENP: 0x7f9f90001450
SN: (l_13)EN: (l_13)ENP: 0x7f9f90001b80
SN: (l_4) EN: (l_4) ENP: 0x7f9f90002100
SN: (l_58)EN: (l_58)ENP: 0x7f9f90002280
SN: (l_27)EN: (l_27)ENP: 0x7f9f90002340
SN: (l_81)EN: (l_81)ENP: 0x7f9f900028b0
SN: (l_65)EN: (l_65)ENP: 0x7f9f90002970
SN: (l_49)EN: (l_49)ENP: 0x7f9f90003140
SN: (l_73)EN: (l_73)ENP: 0x7f9f90003200
SN: (l_99)EN: (l_99)ENP: 0x7f9f900032c0
SN: (l_33)EN: (l_33)ENP: 0x7f9f90003380
SN: (l_14)EN: (l_14)ENP: 0x7f9f90002af0
EN: (l_5) ENP: 0x7f9f90001510
It looks like that for the Event (l_5), it does not serializes the shared pointer. According to the documentation of Cereal, this happens if the shared pointer is already serialized. By printing out the addresses as well I can conclude that this is not the case.
Could you please advise?
