I’ve downloaded recently the version Boost 1.34.1 and performed some tests on ours applications integrating Boost components.

During theses tests, I’ve tried to deserialize some XML archives generated w/ Boost 1.33.1 including some boost::optional<> instances and I’ve observed that the Visual C++ 7.1 IDE emits run-time checks in the load<boost::optional<>>() @ line 60 in file boost/serialization/optional.hpp.

template<class Archive, class T>

void load(

Archive & ar,

boost::optional<T> & t,

const unsigned int /*version*/

){

bool tflag;

ar >> boost::serialization::make_nvp("initialized", tflag);

if (tflag){

unsigned int v;

if(3 < ar.get_library_version()){

ar >> make_nvp("item_version", v);

}

detail::stack_construct<Archive, T> aux(ar, v);

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Here Run-Time Check Failure #3 - The variable 'v' is being used without being defined.

ar >> boost::serialization::make_nvp("value", aux.reference());

t.reset(aux.reference());

}

else {

t.reset();

}

}

Is it possible to avoid this run-time check by a preinitialisation of the local variable “v”? Is it a Bug?
