Hi Boost Users,
First, a great thanks to the authors of the boost serialisation
library, which I have used successfully across projects and has proven
invaluable. Now to my problem. I have been investigating for a little
while a strange warning I get when linking on OSX; the results of my
investigation can be found here [1].
The TL; DR of it is as follows: my OSX debug build has a warning
(indented for ease of reading):
ld: warning: direct access in function
'boost::archive::basic_text_oprimitive<
std::__1::basic_ostream
>::~basic_text_oprimitive()'
from file
'vcpkg_installed/x64-osx/debug/lib/libboost_serialization.a(basic_text_oprimitive.o)'
to global weak symbol
'std::__1::basic_ostream&
std::__1::endl
(std::__1::basic_ostream&)'
This warning is caused by a mismatch in visibility settings between my
project and vcpkg's build of boost. However, as far as I can see, both
projects are using "-fvisibility=default", meaning there should be no
mismatch. Also, no other warnings show up but if I change the project
settings I then get hundreds of warnings (again, for details see
ticket).
What I find even more puzzling is that I am using all three types of
archives (Text, XML and Binary). Of these three, only Text produces
this warning. As the problem is with the destructors, I did a quick
inventory of the destructors to see how they differ:
basic_xml_oarchive.hpp: [2]
BOOST_ARCHIVE_OR_WARCHIVE_DECL
~basic_xml_oarchive() BOOST_OVERRIDE;
basic_text_oarchive.hpp: [3]
~basic_text_oarchive() BOOST_OVERRIDE {}
basic_binary_oarchive.hpp: [4] no destructor.
So my question is, should text archive also have a
BOOST_ARCHIVE_OR_WARCHIVE_DECL macro, and would that fix my warning?
If so I can submit a PR.
Many thanks for your time.

That the Ideas are themselves manifestations (of the Idea-Idea) and
that the Idea-Idea is a-kind-of Manifestation-Idea—which is a-kind-of
itself, so that the system is completely self-describing— would have
been appreciated by Plato as an extremely practical joke [Plato]. --
