How to serialize hash_map with boost. All we know that hash_map is non-standart feature and it’s not in STL. Therefore, hash_maps is supported with stdext, __gnu_cxx namespaces etc. As hash_maps is non-standart feature of STL, there is some troubles on (de)serialize it. #define BOOST_HAS_HASH   #include <boost/serialization/hash_map.hpp> #include <boost/archive/binary_oarchive.hpp> #include <hash_map> #include <fstream> #include <string> [...]
