Any clues ?
I got a basic_string::resize exception evene before trying to call the serialize method... just doing :
std::ifstream fichier(filename.c_str(),std::ios::binary); boost::archive::binary_iarchive archive(fichier); the second line causes the exception...
Now i'm even more sure the issue come from the 32 bits 64 bit
Anybody know what's the status on the portable binary archive? I just got the "critical error: basic_string::resize" when trying to open a binary file on amd64 that was saved on intel32. The same was reported a while back, and it seemed a portable binary archive was to be included soon. This was with boost 1.34 while I got this with boost 1.40.

Hello Mathieu,
binary archives are platform dependent by design so your application _must_ fail. Either you use xml or text archives from boost::serialization or you grab one of the portable binary archives that are around. Currently there are two implementations I know of: one to be included in some future version of boost::serialization and one that was written by me. The first you can get from the trunk or the authors website I guess, the latter you can download from the boost vault (http://www.boostpro.com/vault/).
If you're willing to experiment a bit, I'd be happy to provide help in testing my implementation on your platform. It has been tested for different endianness and boost versions 1.33 to 1.34.
