I'm trying to serialize an abstract base class. I used the BOOST_IS_ABSTRACT macro, but the compile fails with the following error... public/dataclasses/I3Particle.h:225: syntax error before `namespace' public/dataclasses/I3Particle.h:225: syntax error before `}' token line 225 of I3Particle is... BOOST_IS_ABSTRACT(I3Particle); Is is not as simple as adding this one line? I'm using gcc 3.2.3. Thanks, Alex.

The syntax error doesn't suggest anything to do with is_abstract. Post a bigger part of the code. Also, make sure the base class is in fact abstract. That is, has at least one function declared in the header with = 0 . Robert Ramey Alex Olivas wrote:
