OK - found it now.
I've invested a little time to look into
it. A couple of things
a) turns out I never really built/ran this this
test. It depended on my getting
more understanding to how to test a dll with
boost and setting my msvc IDE
to handle this. Lately I got this squared
away but I hadn't run the test.
a) the test uses the polymorphic_archive.
This seemed to confuse me (mostly
because the word "polymorphic" is all over the
place) so I changed it to text_?archive.
b) So I ran the test and found a couple of dumb
bugs. Need to link to the
dll_polymorphic_derived2.dll, etc.
c) needed to add a marcro
BOOST_SERIALIZATION_FACTORY_0(polymorphic_derived2)
to the header so the plugin factory would
work.
d) After all this - the program builds and runs
- but has fails to recover the proper
pointer. I"m looking into this.
I'll uploaded updated test to trunk when it's done.
I do not think this fix will make it
into it into boost 1.42.

I'm working with the latest version 1.41
You can
have a look here, I'm not sure to understand the boost repository, but it
looks quite similar of what I have:
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser/branches/release/libs/serialization/testYou'll
find the source file I'm talking about (it's actually test_dll_plugin.cpp
and not test_plugin_dll.cpp but you'd have made the correction yourself)
along with the bjam file with the commented
line.

Ok,
I understand that it should work somehow, so I'm
doing something wrong. I've checked it and I got quite a few virtual
abstract functions in my main class overridden in the derived
classes.
I've seen all these demo and test. And the one that
comes closer to my problem is definetly test_plugin_dll.cpp
Unfortunaltly it is commented in the Jam file and when I uncommented
the line, it won't compile.
How can I compile it ?
Thanks for
your help,

note that there a few demos of this

helpful.
Also there is test_exported_dll and
test_simple_dll.
Check these out and see if it
helps.
Also, quadriple check that your base
class has at least one virtual function.

Hi,
I've been using the boost serialization on many
projects. But I can't manage to make it work on my current
project.
Basically, I've a main application and an
abstract class located in a separate dll. The application loads
dynamically plugins which defines classes derived from the
abstract class. Then I'm trying to serialize a class created by a
plugin using a pointer to the abstract class, I always get a
"Unregistered class" exception. I've used the BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT
macro in the plugins trying to make the boost serialization
library aware of my classes without any success so
far.
Looking in the source directory and specially in the
"test" directory, I've seen that what I'm trying to do is the same
as the test described by the file test_dll_plugin.cpp,
unfortunately, it seems the test is not compiled and I can't
manage to make it link without error.
So my main concern is: is
this feature supposed to be working ? If not I'll have to review
my design. If it does what is the magic to make it work (like how
to compile test_dll_plugin.cpp or another simple working example)
?
Thanks for any help,
Jean-Charles
