Hello all
My problem is similar to that discussed by Phil and Robert
Ramey on 'Boost - Users' back in 08-Feb-2007. Their thread
was titled "serialization stream error". Phil however did
not post back a follow up and it remains unclear as to whether
his difficulties were resolved or not. Moreover, these
discussions predate the 1.34.1 release on 24-Jul-2007 by
about five months. For my part, I have tried solving the
problem covered in this email using:
- Boost 1.33.1 from an Ubuntu package and dated 05-Dec-2005
- Boost 1.34.1 built from source under Ubuntu 6.10
I would like to get 'demo_shared_ptr.cpp' to run using XML
rather than text as the archive format -- as a precursor to
integrating this kind of code into an energy system
simulation.
I decided to use a step-by-step approach:
step 1 - build and run the original 'demo_shared_ptr.cpp'
using the original text archive format
- therefore, remove the leading A:: and B:: from
constructor and destructor definitions
- comment out the following (two places):
oa.register_type(static_cast<boost::detail::sp_counted_base_impl
<B *, boost::checked_deleter<B> > *>(NULL));
[as far as I could tell 'sp_counted_base_impl' no longer exists]
step 2 - add NVP statements while retaining the text
archive format for the time being
- therefore, swap over all archive calls, for instance:
// ar & x;
ar & boost::serialization::make_nvp("x", x);
step 3 - switch to the XML archive format
- duly change the following headers:
// #include <boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp>
// #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp>
#include <boost/archive/xml_iarchive.hpp>
#include <boost/archive/xml_oarchive.hpp>
- duly change the archive objects:
// boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(ofs);
boost::archive::xml_oarchive oa(ofs);
Step 3 fails but only in the derived pointer code added by
David Tonge to 'demo_shared_ptr.cpp'.
A 'boost::STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE' is generated. Typical
error messages are given after the main body of this
posting.
At this point, I ran out of ideas. I have read the HTML
documentation and made my own notes and still can't see a
solution. Any assistance would be very gratefully received!
Note too that I only log on once per day so don't expect a
rapid turn-around for requests for details.
In addition, I will send diffs to the maintainer when I get
a satisfactory solution.
And, in passing, it is material to note that derived class B
does not fully archive its state and that there should
probably be an "ar & x" statement in its 'serialize'
definition.
For the record, here is my development environment:
os : Ubuntu 6.10, Linux 2.6.17-12-generic
hardware : Toshiba Tecra A2 330 laptop (purchased 27-Aug-2004)
specs : 1.4GHz Intel Celeron M (32-bit) / 512MiB RAM / 40GB HDD / 1024x76
gcc : gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20060928 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.1-13ubuntu5)
I realize that this is not the latest release of Ubuntu, but
otherwise my system is fully current.
Lastly, I take it Boost.Serialization and TR1 shared
pointers (std::tr1::shared_ptr) remain incompatible at this
point in development.
Many thanks to Robert Ramey for developing Boost.Serialization.
It suits my needs to a tee, so I hope I can get this issue
resolved and move on with real coding.
best wishes
Robbie
