While cereal does not directly support serialization raw pointers or references, it is sometimes the case that you may want to supply something such as a raw pointer or global reference to some constructor. In this situation this adapter would likely be used with the construct class to allow for non-default constructors. @note This feature is experimental and may be altered or removed in a future release.
