I am assuming you meant :

std::ofstream ifs("container.mob");

boost::archive::text_oarchive ia(ofs);

oa << MyObject;

ofs << std::endl;

and not std::ifstream ifs.

So if I understand well, this “patch” only adds a newline to the archive at the saving stage.

I tried it but it did not help in any way; in fact I cannot see how it could help, since the problem is at the point of the loading of the std::string, not at the end of the load of the whole object. What I mean here is that MyObject is, in my case, a class containing a std::vector of pointers to class containing std::strings. One of these strings is too long, which causes the crash. Maybe what you meant is appending the std::endl after the serialization of the std::string, but this is not possible since at this point I have only access to the archive, not the underlying ofstream :

template<class Archive>

void serialize(Archive & ar, const MyClass& m, const unsigned int version)

{

ar & m.a_standard_string;

}

I do not have access there to the underlying ofstream of the implementation. Note that here, MyObject would contain a std::vector < MyClass * >. And I am serializing directly MyObject which causes the serialization of MyClass later.

So, what do you mean? Have you located the bug ?

Untl 1.34 comes out try the following on the output stream

std::ifstream ofs("container.mob");

boost::archive::text_oarchive ia(ofs);

oa << MyObject;

ofs << std::endl;

I have been able to test with a string stream; the bug does not occur.

That is, this code produces the bug:

            std::ifstream ifs("container.mob");

boost::archive::text_iarchive ia(ifs);

ia & MyObject;

while the following does not:

            std::ifstream ifs("container.mob");

            std::ostringstream tmp;



tmp << ifs.rdbuf();

            std::istringstream is(tmp.str());

boost::archive::text_iarchive ia(is);

ia & MyObject;

a)       try using a different stream buffer – strstream

So do you have any clue, Robert ?? Clearly the problem has to do with buffering somewhere….
