try replacing

std::ofstream ofs("test.bin");
with

std::ofstream ofs("test.bin", ios::binary);
does that help?

Hello,

I am having a strange problem with std::string as I am trying to read
from a binary archive using Boost serialization. I am new to this, and
it is possible that I have not understood the usage. In the code
below, the string "faultblock" seems to be causing the problem. The
code crashes in the ia & tst line which is reading back the archive -
the stack indicates that it is trying to read an invalid string.
