Hi, I’ve just installed Boost 1.58 and ran into the following problem: I have a class with a std::vector >, that is supposed to always have at least one entry, but may have more. Hence, in the default constructor, I initialize the std::vector with one entry. The class is also serializable. Up until Boost 1.57, a de-serialized object always had the correct number of entries in the vector. As of 1.58, I am getting one entry too much, which probably means that Boost.Serialization simply attaches entries to the vector of a default-constructed class, but doesn’t clear it first. This happens in C++11-Mode, both on Ubuntu 14.10 (gcc 4.9.1) as well as on MacOS X Yosemite . It DOES NOT happen with a std::vector<double> . Below is a full test case that replicates the problem in a simplified environment. For Boost 1.57 the program returns: t_vec.size() = 1 t_vec2.size() = 1 For Boost 1.58 the answer is t_vec.size() = 1 t_vec2.size() = 2 Best Regards, Beet /******************************************************/ #include #include #include #include #include #include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <sstream> namespace boost { namespace serialization { template void serialize(archive & ar, boost::tuple & tpl, unsigned int) { using namespace boost; using boost::serialization::make_nvp; ar & make_nvp("tpl_0", boost::get<0>(tpl)) & make_nvp("tpl_1", boost::get<1>(tpl)) & make_nvp("tpl_2", boost::get<2>(tpl)); } } /* namespace serialization */ } /* namespace boost */ int main() { std::vector > t_vec, t_vec2(1); std::ostringstream oss; t_vec.push_back(boost::tuple(1.,2.,3.)); std::cout << "t_vec.size() = " << t_vec.size() << std::endl; // save data to archive { boost::archive::xml_oarchive oa(oss); // write class instance to archive oa & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(t_vec); // archive and stream closed when destructors are called // Data is now in oss } // load data from archive { std::istringstream iss(oss.str()); boost::archive::xml_iarchive ia(iss); // read class state from archive ia & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(t_vec2); // archive and stream closed when destructors are called } std::cout << "t_vec2.size() = " << t_vec2.size() << std::endl; }
