I am trying to reduce the memory size of boost archives in C++.
One problem I have found is that Boost's binary archives default to using 4 bytes for any int, regardless of its magnitude. For this reason, I am getting that an empty boost binary archive takes 62 bytes while an empty text archive takes 40 (text representation of an empty text archive: 22 serialization::archive 14 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0).
Is there any way …
