Hi I have large amount of data to store/load from files. I use boost::serialization library to do it. It has very nice features. I use version 1.33:
libboost-serialization-dev 1.33.1-9ubuntu3.1
Checking different strategies to play with my data and i/o archives, I met the following problem: if I save several text_oarchives within the same output file (a trick to break side-effects of memory tracking), then the deserialization failed for there is no separator between successive text archives. I have to explicitely add a 'std::endl' in the output stream to make it run. This pb does not appear with xml archives for the </tag> at the end is unambiguous to parse the end of each archive. I did not check for binary archives, but I guess there will be no pb. For me a mandatory 'white' character should be added as the last byte in a text output archive (when destructor is invoked?). This will make more coherent (symmetric!) in comparison with xml/binary ars. This is only a suggestion: I cannot imagine all the side-effects such a strategy could imply. A sample demo file is attached.
