It might be better to just strip the comments first.  This XSL will do that:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

      xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

      xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt">

      <!-- Copy everything -->

      <xsl:template match="node() | @*">

            <xsl:copy>

                  <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>

                  <xsl:apply-templates/>

            </xsl:copy>

      </xsl:template>

      <!-- Emit nothing for comments -->

      <xsl:template match="comment()">

      </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

This might or might not be an option for you, but it seems less likely to introduce problems.

Subject: [Boost-users] [Serialization/Archive] Handle comments in xml-files

Hi,

can anyone tell me where in the code I can find the place, where I can

disable comment-processing as normal name-value-pairs? Because If I have

xml-comments (<!-- -->) in the xml-file, the deserialization will fail

with a boost::archive::archive_exception.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Gerrit
