I'm using boost.serialization for part of our messaging solution. Now here comes a problem: we want to communicate between 32bit and 64bit, is there a chance that using "text archive" would solve the problem ?

It should - but there might be some caviats. Suppose you generated an integer on your 64 bit machine longer than 32 bits. That is larger than 2^32 (~4,000,000,000. There is no way that the 32 bit machine can prepresent it so this wouldn't work. This isn't a problem with the library but an inherent limitation representing 64 bit integers on a 32 bit machine. Other than this, it shold be fine. Robert Ramey
