BUT - now you've sucked me into looking at the merits of including it, I don't see that it would be of any use. here's typical serialization code:
#include <boost/archiive/binary_iarchive.hpp> #include <ifstream> .... f(...){ ifsteam is("my file") binary_iarchive ia(is); try { my_data d; ia >> d; } catch(boost::archive::exception ae){ std::cout << ae.what(); throw(ae) ; // or throw something else } return; }
Well my typical code looks more like load(...) { ifstream is("myfile"); binary_iarchive ia(is); my_data d; ia >> d; return; } with the first try block "miles" away from the call. With a whole lot of layers in between. Layers which may or may not invoke threads. The use you don't see is that I can do this. By not using boost exception you force me to take extra care either everywhere I use serialization or everywhere I use threads. Its not much work, but it still inhibits a much cleaner abstraction level. regards Fabio
