I'm getting a runtime check error from MSVC8 in the following code checked out from cvs_head:
serialization/collections_load_imp.hpp line 116

template<class Archive, class Container, class InputFunction, class R> inline void load_collection(Archive & ar, Container &s) { s.clear(); // retrieve number of elements unsigned int count; unsigned int item_version; ar >> BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(count); if(3 < ar.get_library_version()){ ar >> BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(item_version); } R rx; rx(s, count); InputFunction ifunc; while(count-- > 0){ ifunc(ar, s, item_version); } }
...
The debugger breaks every time ifunc() is called which is frustrating to say the least.
If load_collection() is wrapped with
#pragma runtime_checks( "u", off ) ... #pragma runtime_checks( "u", restore )
it doesn't help - perhaps I've rebuilt it incorrectly, perhaps the pragma needs to be around where the code is instantiated. I managed to get around the problem by assigning 0 to item_version.
What happens when you break into the debugger. VC8 supports range checked iterators, dereferencing an invalid iterator, etc. What is the exception/assert message being generated? Can you use the VC8 debugger and see what values each of the variables are at the point where the assert/exception was generated? Is there any information you can gather by looking up the callstack?
Has anyone specifically chosen to turn runtime checks on for debug builds with MSVC8 or is this just the default?
VC8 has additional error checking when compiling for debug. - Reece _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger! Download today it's FREE! http://messenger.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200471ave/direct/01/
