Ok -- added to the 1.33 todo list -- although 5.6.4 looks a bit shaky from a serialization lib point of view. A bunch of the archive tests are marked as failing. Anyway, we will turn on the regression tests soon. Of course there's some date_time limits as well w.r.t. output on 5.6.4.
Hi Jeff,
Pablo Aguilar has found the issue with serializing ptimes and bcc32. The serialize functions work fine, unless you pre-compile the serialization headers and not the time_serialize.hpp header. This leads to the error
[C++ Error] serialization.hpp(121): E2015 Ambiguity between 'boost::serialization::void serialize<boost::archive::text_oarchive>(boost::archive::text_oarchive &,boost::posix_time::ptime &,const unsigned int)' and 'boost::serialization::void serialize<boost::archive::text_oarchive,boost::posix_time::ptime>(boost::archive::text_oarchive &,boost::posix_time::ptime &,const unsigned int)'
The solution is to either not pre-compile any of the serialization stuff or add time_serialize.hpp to the pre-compiled list also.
So looks like nothing for you to fix for 1.33 :) (Unless you want to add a note about this to the docs)
Thanks
Russell
I was going to post about this but you beat me to it! There's one last catch (which I had to go through) to get this to work. I did as Russel suggested, and put everything in the PCH, only to find out I'd tried that before but had gotten the error "initialized data something, can't create PCH". The error came from including "locale" in the PCH also (I guess string pulls it in, I don't know, didn't bother looking). So, after changing out of the "library is right, I must be doing something wrong" mode, I found that "locale" missdetects the borland compiler, it has an #ifdef __BORLANDC where it should've been __BORLANDC__ Since I'm using BCB6 straight out of the box + update pack 4, I'm guessing other people might run into the same thing, so I think it should be mentioned in the docs Robert R./Jeff G. said they'd include, even though it's not a boost specific issue. Hope this helps Pablo
