#2266: destructors of basic_binary_[io]primitive throw exceptions

 Reporter:  Igor Nazarenko  |       Owner:  ramey        
     Type:  Bugs            |      Status:  new          
Milestone:  Boost 1.35.1    |   Component:  serialization
  Version:  Boost 1.35.0    |    Severity:  Showstopper  
 Keywords:                  |  
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 See:
 boost/archive/impl/basic_binary_oprimitive.ipp,
 boost/archive/impl/basic_binary_iprimitive.ipp

 Destructors of both basic_binary_oprimitive and basic_binary_iprimitive
 throw exceptions, see the code snippet below.

 I'm trying to use binary archives to send data over a pipe. Assume one of
 the pipe ends is closed unexpectedly. On the other end of the pipe the
 archive gets an exception, runtime tries to unroll the stack, calls this
 destructor, the destructor throws again and my program terminates without
 warning.

 --------------------- code excerpt ---------------------

 basic_binary_iprimitive<Archive, Elem, Tr>::~basic_binary_iprimitive(){
     // push back unread characters
     int result = static_cast<detail::input_streambuf_access<Elem, Tr> &>(
         m_sb
     ).sync();
     if(0 != result){
         boost::throw_exception(
             archive_exception(archive_exception::stream_error)
         );
     }
 }
