Try changing the return type of foo() to const double. For the reason see the ratinale page in the serialization documentation. Oliver Drumheller, Michael wrote:
The test program below (under boost 1_33, vc71) compiles fine, unless I change the "#if 1" to "#if 0", in which case it produces this: error C2679: binary '<<': no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'double' (or there is no acceptable conversion)
Can anyone explain why that should happen? A double is a double--why should '<<' care whether the rhs comes from funcall a variable?
Note: The test program is clearly a nonsense program (in real life the role of foo() is played by some public (get-accessor) on klass--a very common pattern when doing a non-intrusive serialization). But I did not want to cloud the issue--I wanted to emphasize that the bug, if it is a bug, seems to have nothing to with klass.
Thank you.
