The best would be to write a small test that fails and send it to me. Robert Ramey Merrill Cornish wrote:

Robert,

I changed the archive output from XML to text. The example I sent you prevously ran to completion without error. However, the text format doesn't have enough syntax detail to make a syntax error obvious. The text archive it generated was

22 serialization::archive 3 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 -1 4 abcd 0 0 0 0 8 20051227 0 0 0 18 41 40 0

I had also written a serialization test for another class. Its serialize() function looks like this

private: friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(mNode); ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(mInputIndex); ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(mIsInbound); }//serialize()

where, again, mNode is a shared_ptr, mInputIndex is size_t, and mIsInbound is a bool. The code to generate the archive and to then read is back is as I showed you before. The archive generated was

22 serialization::archive 3 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1

Is that enough of an archive to record the serialize() function above? The serialization of the mNode data member should have included the value 1142 in it, but I see nothing that would represent that.
