Any existing header order dependency would be news to me and I would be interested in seeing it fixed. Given that you've expended the effort to find the problem in a specific case, do you have any suggestion about what change should be made? Robert Ramey Clif Houck wrote:
Well, I figured out what the problem was after diagnosing a little bit further. Apparently you must include at least one archive header before the shared_ptr header for correct compilation to occur.
This example:
//This header must come BEFORE the shared_ptr headers #include <boost/archive/binary_oarchive.hpp>
#include <boost/serialization/shared_ptr_132.hpp> #include <boost/serialization/shared_ptr.hpp>
int main() { return 0; }
Was distilled from a larger, but still simple test program I wrote to make sure that I was writing code correctly to de-serialize 1.32 era shared_ptrs. In that program I made the mistake of including the archive headers AFTER the shared_ptr headers.
I was under the impression that the serialization library had dispensed with header-order dependencies. I guess this isn't the case? Perhaps I didn't read the documentation closely enough. In any case, order dependencies for headers is very counter-intuitive and I'm sure a lot of other users have/will run into this problem. Is there some way to break the dependency?
