I managed to get it to compile with MSVC 8.0 (with Boost 1.33.1) but I don't have the serialization library built to it failed to link and run, and I have other more pressing code to do right now.
Note that any such test should test the codecvt facet. This should not be related to the serialization library in any way.

Robert, I included some regression tests that test usage with the serialization library. And, lo and behold, the following test fails on VC++ 7.1: stringstream ss; locale old_locale; locale tmp_locale(old_locale, new extended_num_get<char>); locale new_locale(tmp_locale, new extended_num_put<char>); ss.imbue(new_locale); double x = std::numeric_limits<double>::infinity(); { text_oarchive oa(ss); oa & x; } double y; { test_iarchive ia(ss); ia & y; } BOOST_CHECK(x == y); The facets extended_num_put and extended_num_get are never called. Instead std::num_put and std::num_get are called. There is a workaround: first construct the stream, then construct the archive, and then imbue the stream with the new locale. But that seems counter-intuitive. --Johan Råde
