The release notes page makes reference to:
Differences from Draft #20 - Support for Argument Dependent Looup for serialization override invocations. - Enhanced documentation to help explain usage of the above. Where might this be found? A link here would be useful.
Its in the section "Reference/Class Serialization/Splitting serialize
save/load/namespaces.
I was expecting more on the issues associated with ADL here but didn't find any such discussion in this portion of the documentation. I've hunted about a bit and haven't found mention elsewhere, but that doesn't confirm that it's not there. :)
This aspect is something I'm unhappy about and will try to address in
into the
next version. Unfortunately, like everything else, its not as easy as it appears.
I'm not sure if your refering to the documentation or to the actual facilities.
I'm referring to the the fact that the issue has to be address explicitly at all. This is a side effect of implementation of the export functionality. I'm hoping that re-implementing th export functionality (keeping the interface, macros, etc) will make ADL and two phase lookup function as one would expect without having to address it. At that point I would just remove this information from the documentation.
I did find that #define'ing BOOST_NO_ARGUMENT_DEPENDENT_LOOKUP in each translation unit where serialization functions/methods are instantiated solve my std::set<std::string> problems as described in my other recent postings. Also this resolves issues with VC7.1 compiler fatal errors due
to
complexity.
So is using BOOST_NO_ARGUMENT_DEPENDENT_LOOKUP with VC7.1 a general requirement? Does this have effect on other boost libraries?
Just to let you know, with the above #def I've successfully converted my application to use boost 1.32.0 from 1.31.0 + serialization20. The other change was ensuring that all my serialization methods used const unsigned int version arguments. I think I had some without the const and without
Other posts on this list have raised questions about VC 7.1 issue regarding ADL. note that VC 7.1 doesn't support two-phase lookup so confuses the issue significantly - at least for me. Again, I'm hoping I can make this all go away with a different implementation of export. - though I don't know for sure yet. the
unsigned from earlier versions of the library.
Great job on the library and many thanks for all of your efforts.
I would hope that changes from 1.31 to 1.32 would be very minimal if any. Robert Ramey
