VC 7.1

Do the serialization tests that touch polymorphic archives compile?

All tests from libs\serialization\test succeedes - when running twise. First run of some tests has been failed. I had never runs serialization tests before and don't know why so can be happen. I think, my corrections doesn't broke anything. Also, my code that saves/loads polymorphic objects through shared_ptr<Base> to/from polymorphic archives also compiles and runs correctly.

Is test coverage sufficient?

I think thats that test coverage of polymorphic archives in current libriry version extremely insufficient. Indeed, I have found just one test that deals with polymorphic archives.

Its look like that lookup_basic_helper/insert_basic_helper has not been added to polymorphic_iarchive/polymorphic_oarchive and polymorphic_iarchive_impl/polymorphic_oarchive_impl classes by mistake. Also, interface_iarchive and interface_oarchive members lookup_helper and

insert_helper should be transformed from

void lookup_helper( const boost::serialization::extended_type_info * const eti, shared_ptr<void> & sph ){ this->This()->basic_iarchive::lookup_basic_helper(eti, sph); }

to

void lookup_helper( const boost::serialization::extended_type_info * const eti, shared_ptr<void> & sph ){ this->This()->lookup_basic_helper(eti, sph); }

This works for me.

Can you explain your fix a little bit more? What did you fix in polymorphic_iarchive/polymorphic_oarchive and polymorphic_iarchive_impl/polymorphic_oarchive_impl classes?

Thanks!
