We were facing similar problems jumping from 1.36 to 1.45. Binary archive backwards compatibility is broken in a few places. But: it is fixable. We may provide a patch - is there a TRAK ticket? Regards, -- Christian Pfligersdorffer Software Engineering www.eos.info

Let me forward this message posted few days ago since nobody has confirmed that the issue described hereafter exists. I would really appreciate if someone could take a look (maybe Mr Robert Ramey) and give some advice on this subject.

Hello Booster,
We are trying to jump from Boost 1.40 to Boost 1.47 but we are facing an issue: an ASSERT is raised in debug mode when reading back binary archive generated by Boost.Serialization 1.40 with the Boost.Serialization 1.47. This ASSERT is at line 116 in basic_archive.hpp:
BOOST_ASSERT(t_ <= boost::integer_traits<base_type>::const_max)
And it occurs with the following platform: MSVC 8.0 and Windows XP/32bits or Win7/64bits.
Looking at the load_override and save_override implementations for class_id_type in #1.40, they seem loading and saving an 'int_least16_t' (equiv. to a short for our platform) while load_override(class_id_type) for #1.47 attempts to read an 'int' (file: basic_binary_iarchive.hpp @ line 98).
My questions are: - This assert suggests that we can't read back previous binary archives (#1.40 at least) with Boost.Serialization 1.47, is this a known pending issue for Boost.Serialization?
- If yes, how we can manage that and how we can complete the migration to 1.47 in our case (it should be noted that we must be able to read back our 1.40 binary archives)? Is there any known patch for this problem?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Marc Viala
PS: I'm not sure but ticket #5567 seems already opened on this issue but has not been yet fixed (https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5567).
