Re: [Boost-users] Boost serialization: Problem reading strings frombinary archive

11 Nov 2007


      Yes, that was it - thanks very much for looking at it. I was using a text
archive before, and everything was working even after I switched to binary,
till I started using strings. I missed out on adding ios::binary to the
write...

Best Regards

try replacing
     std::ofstream ofs("test.bin");
with
    std::ofstream ofs("test.bin", ios::binary);
does that help?

Hello,
I am having a strange problem with std::string as I am trying to read
from a binary archive using Boost serialization. I am new to this, and
it is possible that I have not understood the usage. In the code
below, the string "faultblock" seems to be causing the problem. The
code crashes in the ia & tst line which is reading back the archive -
the stack indicates that it is trying to read an invalid string.
