Hi All,

Greetings for the day.

I am trying to understand the behavior of Boost's binary serializer(Boost version 1.65). Please consider the below example, where I am inserting one record into the file, and trying to read the same record 5 times.

It would not occur to me to use the serialization library in this case. The serialization library saves/restores a whole data structure of arbitrary complexity. It does it with one call. It doesn't really support "picking apart" the saved file. It's not a file protocol - it's much, much more than that. If you intervene in the process, you'll likely be surprised at what you get.
