Well, can't we think if deserialization as just another way of constructing an object?

So if deserialization fails, it's like when construction fails and you might throw or abort. No?

No; the usual deserialization method starts with an already-constructed object.

In boost's framework, sure. In others, eg. one found in C#, each class has a special constructor. -Thorsten
