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?
