typedef std::vector<char> buffer_type; buffer_type buffer; // the target buffer for serialization { buffer.reserve (1000); // ensure some minimal capacity depending of

Hi doug, I don't kwow how to use a string (and a stringstream as the target of serialization). I use plain std::vector<char> as memory buffer, both for text/XML archives and binary archives. Here are typical bits I use : the expected size of the archive // Archiving is redirected to the buffer: namespace io = boost::iostreams; io::stream > output_stream (buffer); boost::archive::text_oarchive oa (output_stream); oa << my_data; output_stream.flush (); } <<< In your case, as you use vector<string> _frames; as a collection of frames, I recommend this: vector _frames; { buffer_type dummy; _frames.push_back (dummy); // insert first a new `frame' in the collection } ... buffer_type & current_buffer = _frames.back (); // use the last inserted buffer from the collection current_buffer.reserve (1000); ... io::stream > output_stream (current_buffer); ... That would save a copy operation in your collection. Hope it helps. cheers frc -- doug livesey a écrit :

Hi -- I have some code that runs when compiled with GCC-4.2 (on OSX Snow Leopard), but that throws the following error with my fresh compile of 4.6.0: run_features(2872) malloc: *** error for object 0x100502060: pointer being freed was not allocated *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

The line that creates this error is here, on line 24: https://gist.github.com/923262 (Apologies for any egregious code abuses in there, I'm just learning!) In the debugger, it lets me step from that line to the constructor of xml_oarchive (line 114 of xml_oarchive.hpp), and when I try to step any further, I get this: run_features(2885) malloc: *** error for object 0x100501b00: pointer being freed was not allocated *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. 0x00007fff871a95d6 in __kill ()

Could anyone advise me on what I could do to fix this? I really want to be working with GCC 4.6.0 and the boost serialisation libraries. Incidentally, I reinstalled boost after I installed the latest GCC (with homebrew), and I'd set cc, gcc, and g++ symlinks to GCC-4.6.0 before I did that, so boost should be compiled with the latest. Thanks very much for any & all assistance. Doug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
