Release candidate files for 1.53.0 beta 1 are available at http://boost.cowic.de/rc/ I've put it on the site, the documentation is linked from the release notes:

The change that is causing the problem seems to be boost/archive/archive_exception.hpp. In a quick comparison, it appears that char m_buffer[128] is supposed to replace std::string m_msg. diff -u boost_1_49_0/./boost/archive/archive_exception.hpp boost_1_53_0_beta1/./boost/archive/archive_exception.hpp --- boost_1_49_0/./boost/archive/archive_exception.hpp 2011-01-19 13:33:55.000000000 -0400 +++ boost_1_53_0_beta1/./boost/archive/archive_exception.hpp 2012-12-24 14:23:49.000000000 -0400 @@ -43,6 +43,8 @@ class BOOST_ARCHIVE_DECL(BOOST_PP_EMPTY()) archive_exception : public virtual std::exception { +protected: + char m_buffer[128]; public: typedef enum { no_exception, // initialized without code @@ -74,8 +76,6 @@ // type has been instantiated in more than one module. output_stream_error // error on input stream } exception_code; -protected: - std::string m_msg; public: exception_code code; archive_exception( @@ -83,9 +83,11 @@ const char * e1 = NULL, const char * e2 = NULL ); - ~archive_exception() throw (); - virtual const char *what( ) const throw(); + virtual ~archive_exception() throw(); + virtual const char *what() const throw(); protected: + unsigned int + append(unsigned int l, const char * a); archive_exception(); }; -- Shane Turner Senior Software Developer phone +1 (902) 406--8375 x1008 email Shane.Turner@NewPace.ca mailto:Shane.Turner@newpace.ca aim aim:GoIm?screenname=Shane.Turner@newpace.ca/msn msnim:chat?contact=Shane.Turner@newpace.ca Shane.Turner@NewPace.ca aim:GoIm?screenname=Shane.Turner@newpace.ca skype saturnjct skype:saturnjct
