[Boost-users] Re: boost::serialize on Codewarrior 8.3 (Mac)

Are you buiding with bjam or with some other system. Here are the results we get when we use bjam. http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost-regression/developer/serializatio n.html Most tests pass, a number of test fail - these are related to the serialization of derived pointers. This is a pending issue. Robert Ramey Ryan Wilcox wrote:

Hello all,

I would like to use boost::serialize for one of my projects, using Codewarrior 8.3 (going to CW 9 may or may not be in the picture), on Mac OS X (10.3.x)

Anyway, I've been working on getting the unit tests for boost::serialize up and running inside the Codewarrior IDE. I created a new project file (C++, Mac OS Carbon, Console), included a serialize unit test, set the paths correctly, included the files I thought I would need for boost::test stuff, all that jazz.

The test that I'm trying out now, in the serialization test suite, is test_binary.cpp. Trying to compile it gave me some immediate compiler errors (which I fixed by #including some additional source files: "binary_archive.hpp", "stdio.h" (tmpnam is in stdio.h in CW, and not cstdio).

At the end I have just one error which I don't understand (both because the error message is hard to parse, and I'm fairly new to the boost libraries in general).

Here, for completeness, is the error message:

I don't, really, understand why there's an error here, as iserializer is ~ a non-abstract type (as far as I can see), but it looks like there's plenty of template stuff going on, and there may be a clue in there.

Does anyone have any pointers, or ideas on how I can fix this error?

Thanks, _Ryan Wilcox
