I forgot to mention, I am using boost 1.33.1 and compiling on windriver (x86) linux. ________________________________ From: G, Benjamin (NSN - IN/Bangalore) Sent: 23 July, 2009 1:24 PM To: 'boost-users@lists.boost.org' Subject: strange serialization compilation issue - serialize function not being compiled Hi, I have a class which has got the serialize function implemented. template<class Archive>void myClassB::serialize( Archive& ar, const unsigned int) Somehow, this function is skipped and doesn't appear even in the object file created for this file which gives me undefined reference errors later when linking. I have included : #include <boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/binary_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/binary_iarchive.hpp> In my cpp file. Does this sound faimiliar to anyone? Or am I going wrong somewhere? Thanks in advance - Benjamin Jacob.
