Re: [Boost-users] [serialization] Serialization of derived classes

Actually - the de-serialization fails. I suspect this is due to he stream not being opened in binary mode - on both input and output. As a quick test - you can try a text stream. Investigate this. Robert Ramey Christian Henning wrote:

Hi Robert, thanks for the quick answer. I went for the second idea and made my base class abstract using a pure virtual member function. Unfortunately, now I'm catching an unknown exception when trying to deserialize.
