Hi all -
I've got a class hierarchy that can already be serialized into text or binary archives. I'm explicitly instantiating the template functions for serialize and/or load/save.
I'm trying to add the capability to have boost mpi perform the serialization through send/recv/broadcast. I've added explicit instantiations for the boost::mpi::packed_iarchive and packed_oarchive. My code compiles, but at the end I get a bunch of undefined references for serialize<boost::mpi::detail::mpi_datatype_oarchive>.
I can add the explicit instantiations for this oarchive, and this seems to fix my linking issue, but this seems broken, i.e. I should not have to deal with anything in a boost::detail namespace?
I agree. Note that the main boost archive classses - text_oarchive etc. do have *.cpp files with expicit explicit instantiations. Maybe these are missing from the mpi archives. Feel free to investigate and suggest a patch. Robert Ramey
Is there another suggestion for how to get this to work?
Thanks, Brian
