Hello, is it possible to prevent that the archive of class X can be restored in class Y (both have the same layout)?
I don't understand what this means. Robert Ramey
I don't want Y created from a archive containing a X. Please look at the code below: #include <iostream> #include <sstream> #include <stdexcept> #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/xml_iarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/xml_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/nvp.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/level.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/export.hpp> class X { public: friend class boost::serialization::access; template< typename Archive > void serialize( Archive & ar, unsigned int version) { ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP( degrees); ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP( city); } int degrees; std::string city; X(){}; X( int d, std::string const& c) : degrees( d), city( c) {} }; // BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(X) // BOOST_CLASS_IMPLEMENTATION(X, boost::serialization::object_class_info) class Y { public: friend class boost::serialization::access; template< typename Archive > void serialize( Archive & ar, unsigned int version) { ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP( degrees); ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP( city); } int degrees; std::string city; Y(){}; Y( int d, std::string const& c) : degrees( d), city( c) {} }; // BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(Y) // BOOST_CLASS_IMPLEMENTATION(Y, boost::serialization::object_class_info) int main() { try { std::stringstream ss; int degrees = -1342; std::string city; city += "abc"; { boost::archive::text_oarchive oa( ss); const X g( degrees, city); oa << g; } std::cout << ss.str() << std::endl; { boost::archive::text_iarchive ia( ss); Y g; ia >> g; // I would expect an exception; at least not Y rtestored if ( g.degrees == degrees && g.city == city) std::cout << "equal" << std::endl; else std::cout << "not equal" << std::endl; } return 0; } catch ( std::exception const& e) { std::cerr << e.what() << std::endl; } catch (...) { std::cerr << "unhandled" << std::endl; } return -1; }
