Package: libboost-serialization-dev (1.40.0.1)

serialization library for C++ (default version)

This package forms part of the Boost C++ Libraries collection, containing the following functionalities:

 * proper restoration of pointers to shared data
 * serialization of STL containers and other commonly used templates
 * data portability - streams of bytes created on one platform should
   be readable on any other
 * archive interface must be rich enough to permit the creation of an
   archive that presents serialized data as XML in a useful manner

Here, "serialization" means the reversible deconstruction of an arbitrary set of C++ data structures to a sequence of bytes. archive: to refer to a specific rendering of this stream of bytes.

This package is a dependency package, which depends on Debian's default Boost version (currently 1.40).
