I think you already knew this and your question refers to an random access for serialized objects.<br />
<br />
Because of the serialized pointers the only way I can see is to store each object (or group of objects) that are independent of each other separate in one file and add an index to refer to the objects. <br />

If all you want to do is to serialize in a way that's different from the CArchive &lt;&lt;&nbsp;and &gt;&gt;&nbsp;operators you don't need to override anything. &nbsp;Just use the CArchive Read and Write functions to access the raw data in the way you need. &nbsp;If you already have a file handler for the protocol, you can also use the CArchive GetFile function.<br />

CArchive

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
