However, this is not what I am requesting. What I am asking for is a note in the documentation on the page headed "Serialization - Archive Exceptions" under "stream_error" that says something along the lines of "This exception can also occur when reading an archive to which uninitialized data has been written. I/O of uninitialized data is undefined."
Oh - OK - that's easy. Consider it done !
Please, don't use an exception for this purpose, and if for some reason you feel you *must*, please don't document it as such. My posts in http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.c++.moderated/browse_frm/thread/800... describe some of the rationale. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
