Thanks,

 

I could get past the header with the “no_header” flag. Also I tried the demo and it puts the </boost_serialization> tag correctly but I do not get that tag in my case.

 

Does the friend declaration for the stream << operators required in the classes that implement serialization. I do not have this declaration but it seems to work fine.

 

The other thing is that I get the xml from outside source and when reading in it might have a header which will be different from the one boost has.

 

That was the reason I wanted to overwrite the init function to have custom header. Now I generate o/p with no header but then still have to read in the header. The only other way is I eat the header. Is there some cleaner?

 

But at least I know a way around. Thanks fro your time and help.

 

Thanks,

Sangeeta

A couple of things:

 

a) you might try opening the the archive with the "no_header" flag.

b) I checked the output of my tests and I see that they do contain the end tag

</boost_serialization>.  You might try running one of tests and/or demos

to verify that these work on your system.  If they do, investigate what your

program is doing differently

c) I looked in the code in "basic_xml_oarchive.ipp" and it does contain code

to append </boost_serialization> at the end of the output.  You should

investigate why this code isn't being called.  If this is due to an error

in the library- we would be interested in the details.

Hi,

 

I have a need to be able to specify my own init routine for the xml serialization. I tried deriving a new archive from xml_oarchive_impl and tried to have a init() function there but that does not get invoked.

 

I am using boost serialization library ver 1.32.

 

The xml that is generated by the library is malformed. It generates the following line without corresponding end tag

 

<boost_serialization signature="serialization::archive" version="3">

 

 

There is no </boost_serialization> in the o/p xml.

 

Also my requiremet is that I do not generate this tag.

 

Thanks,

Sangeeta
