Re: [Boost-users] 1_36 serialization... another issue...

I dont have the knowledge of the inner coding of the archives... but as 
far as I understood the issue come from theses lines :

    if(3 < ar.get_library_version())
        ar >> BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(item_version);

in the vector.hpp header file (load method)

would it be possible to surround these lines with a try catch block in a 
way like this :

try
{
    if(3 < ar.get_library_version())
        ar >> BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(item_version);
}
catch(...)
{
    do something to reset the state of the archive before the ar >> 
BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(item_version); attempt
}

Is it something possible or am i just a dreamer ? would it have some 
performance impact ? In such a case maybe it could be a choice to have a 
full compatible library with an
#ifdef code selection mechanism...

I hope this proposal is not too ridiculous....

Regards,

Mathieu
