have you tried building in release mode? Of if you must run in debug mode - exclude the debug symbols - or ? I don't see this is something that can be addressed from the serialization system - what does intel say? Robert Ramey Zoltan Szatmary wrote:
Dear Robert,
I have been using the serialization lib for a while. I already wrote some mail to this list as you might remember. I was quite satisfied with its performance and ease of use, but now there is a problem I cannot solve. I need to serialize/deserialize some 50 polymorphic classes, so I do BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT them. I put all the serialization related logic into one definition (.cpp) file. I only use two types of archives, xml_iarchive and xml_oarchive. Now, when I compile the file with Intel compiler v8.2 on an Itanium based machine and with debug info the result is a huge (>42MB) object file, which ld (the linker) simply refuses to link. I am quite sure that the size of the object file is the problem. I tried to separate the xml_iarchive related code to one .cpp file and the xml_oarchive related code to an another, but of course this means that export.hpp is included to both, which results in multiple definitions error when trying to link the two object files together. Could you suggest any solution?
Thank you very much in advance
