What version of boost are you using? Note that one can set the build settings in the VC++ IDE so that debug symbols are enabled even when the code is built with full optimization. This might help determine the source of the error. Robert Ramey Dieter Buys wrote:

Hi,

My program is now crashing when I do a release build and try to serialize my data, but in the debug version it works just fine. Area where it is crashing appears to be:

std::ofstream ofs(saveAsDialog.GetPath()); boost::archive::binary_oarchive oa(ofs);

Specifically on the second line, where it attempts to create the archive on the file stream, it just crashes. At this point I have no idea what could be causing it. I am using MS Visual C++ 8.
