I am using the Serialization library version 1.33 with MSVC 2003. From the serialization of a class with an uninitialized double member "a" I got the following XML:

<a>1.0198947755763149e-312</a>

When I deserialize this number I get a stream_error. Is this a bug?

By bug, you mean besides serializing an uninitialized object in the first place, right? Don't answer; there's no guarantees about anything once you do something crazy like reading an uninitialized value, including no guarantee that the deserialization routine can do anything sensible with the input (i.e. garbage-in-garbage-out). -- Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT hotmail DOT com
