Re: [Boost-users] [Serialization] Runtime checking oftypes indeserialization

I doubt anyone would have implemented such a functionality for a deliverable. a) were such an error discovered it would really be a bug from which no recovery would be possible. b) It "might" be possible to trap such a bug and invoke an assert, but such code wouldn't be in a deliverable in any case. basically, detecting such a condition is only useful during development. And during development one has the option of using a "special" archive for double checking that serialization save/load functions are symetrical. If one had nothing else to do, one could enhance xml_archives to more thoroughly achieve this purpose, but apparently no one has deemed this to be worth thier efforts. Robert Ramey
