Actually I'm uncertain on this point and in fact have changed back and forth on this very point. I believe that various check-ins of extended type info in various branches of the cvs tree reflect this Robert Ramey mos wrote:

That's painful! I have used serialization in servral modules already. I comment the line 71 assert(lookup(eti) == m_self->m_map.end()); and it work. Is there any risk?

This would be best addressed by having the serialization in either the one module (the dll) or the other (mainline exe) but not both.

Hi!

I meet trouble in use serialization in dll in dll export a function like hi_dll() void hi_dll() { std::mapstd::string,int m_map; std::ostringstream os; boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(os); oa & m_map; std::cout << os.str() << std::endl; } and in exe there is a function hi_exe() code is the same as hi_dll void hi_exe() { std::mapstd::string,int m_map; std::ostringstream os; boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(os); oa & m_map; std::cout << os.str() << std::endl; }

in Debug mode , the exe call both hi_exe() and hi_dll() will assert at extended_type_info.cpp line 71

assert(lookup(eti) == m_self->m_map.end());

vc7.1 boost 1.33.1 link with serialization as dll

then what to do? thanks in advance.

Best Regards mos
