Hi,

I'm having a bit of trouble while using the serialization library. (Boost v1.35, gcc, Red Hat Linux).

I have a class containing a hash_map (key=string, value=shared_ptr to a class containing a deque):

HashMapClass{

friend class boost::serialization::access;

template <class Archive>

void serialize(Archive &ar, const unsigned in t version){

ar & map;

}

__gun_cxx::hash_map<std::string const, boost::shared_ptr<DequeClass> map;

}

//create instance

HashMapClass hashMap;

// fill hashmap

...

//perform serialization every hour or something

std::ofstream ofs("file.txt");

boost::archive::binary_oarchive oa(ofs);

const HashMapClass &map = hashMap;

oa << map;

The Problem:

This works fine for several saves. I can see the file created changing each time the serialization is done. Then after about four or five saves, it seg faults at the place described below. It looks to me like it's having problems iterating over the hash_map.

Any advice on how to diagnose or fix this would be appreciated,

Many thanks

Jack
