Hi, did not get any replies, just wanted to see if may be there is serialize specific list or if anybody can recommend an example that serializes an associative container of shared pointers thank you in advance On Mon, 15 Jun 2009 00:57 -0400, "V S P" wrote:

Hello,

I am sure I am not doing things quite right in serializing my multiset, however I could not 'connect the dots' in the serialize documentation between serializing shared pointers and containers.

Therefore, asking for help.

I created a complete compilable example, that I am attaching below and the created output file. The program crashes on the last line when I am trying to load the data back in.

Any help is greatly appreciated, Vlad -------------- prog start ---------------- #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <ostream> #include <ctime> #include <cstdlib>
