c++17 - boost::mpi 和 boost:serialization 与 std::variant

Question

c++17 引入了新类型std::variant. 是否可以定义一个序列化例程，以便与std::variant结合使用boost::mpi？

例如，考虑一个简单的程序

#include <variant>
#include <boost/mpi.hpp>
#include <boost/serialization/string.hpp>

namespace mpi = boost::mpi;

class A {
  friend class boost::serialization::access;

  template <class Archive>
  void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version)
  {
    ar & x;
    ar & y;
  }

public:
  int x, y;
};

class B {
  friend class boost::serialization::access;

  template <class Archive>
  void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version)
  {
    ar & z;
  }

public:
  int z;
};

int main()
{
  mpi::environment env;
  mpi::communicator world;

  std::variant<A, B> v;
  if (world.rank() == 0)
    v = B{1};
  mpi::broadcast(world, v, 0);

  return 0;
}

它不编译给出错误

error: ‘class std::variant<A, B>’ has no member named ‘serialize’

如何正确定义 a 的serialize成员std::variant？请注意，在上面的示例中，这两种类型A都有B一个正确定义的序列化成员。
