Boost.Asio and Boost.Serialization, Part I
summary
A concrete prototype message system uses Boost.Asio for networking and Boost.Serialization for object transmission, implementing an echo server, two-thread runtime (IO thread + execution thread), and a parcel queue that defers deserialization to the execution thread. Code on GitHub shows how derived-class serialization via explicit registration works, how shared_ptr and archives (binary/text/XML) are used, and discusses zero-copy, compression tradeoffs and a ~500-line example of active messages (serializing std::function-like actions).
