Hmmmm - a very interesting question I've never considered.
All the serialization tests do the following: create a structure, serialize to a file, load the file to a new structure and check for equality.
I would expect that in your test text1.doc would be identical to text2.doc.
UNLESS you have have floats/double in your classes. In general, it cannotbe guarenteed that there is a one-to-one correspondence between floatiing point values as represented by binary in ram to text numbers representedas decimal based text. So in this case I would expect text1.doc to not be identical to text2.doc.
There may be other cases, but that's all that occurs to me right now.
Off the top of my hat, I think there's another case where text1 is not identical to text2, namely when using hashed containers: If a rehash occurs during container population, the resulting traversal order won't be the same as the original. I don't know if this applies to the OP scenario. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo
