I'm new to C++ and how do i serialize the struct having shared pointer and template . Below is sample code.

C++

#pragma once

#include 
#include <boost\serialization\string.hpp>
#include <boost\serialization\shared_ptr.hpp>

//Mydata.hpp file

namespace mydata
{

struct MyData
{
    std::string name;
    std::string type;
    std::shared_ptr<myinfo> myref;

    private:
    friend class boost::serialization::access;
    template<class archive="">
    void serialize(Archive &ar, const unsigned int vs)
    {
        ar & name;
        ar & type;
        ar & myref;
    }
}
}

now how do i implement in the corresponding Mydata.cpp file for shared pointer ?

Are you looking for this http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/serialization/doc/index.html[^]?

Haven't tried that myself, so I can't provide help beyond the content of this article. However, a word of warning: it seems the article refers to boost::shared_ptr, not std::shared_ptr ! The two may not be the same!

Also the article makes a point to archive the reference counter - this may be useful if your goal is to save the internal state of your program, e. g. for debugging purposes. But I consider it a rather bad idea if you just want to save and restore arbitrary data structures!
