[Boost-users] mpi/serialization: string serialization and const char*

hello, Including I mpi::broadcast an object. Its serialization method is split into a save() and a load(). In the save(), I send: ar << "fixed_params"; where ar is a boost::mpi::packed_iarchive. At reception, the load() function : std::string paramstype; ar >> paramstype; if (paramstype=="fixed_params") /// this fails because the count of characters if 12 for 1 side and 13 for the other. The null character is there. Should this work? regards,
