Earlier I wrote a blog post for OPIG:
Here I’m attaching the codes that I used:
using namespace std; void save(map const& obj, string const& fname) { std::ofstream ofs(fname, std::ios::binary); { boost::iostreams::filtering_ostreambuf fos; // push the ofstream and the compressor fos.push(boost::iostreams::zlib_compressor(boost::iostreams::zlib::best_compression)); fos.push(ofs); // start the archive on the filtering buffer: boost::archive::binary_oarchive bo(fos); bo <> obj; return obj; } }
