#9412: Error message hidden by assert
------------------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  anonymous         |      Owner:  ramey
     Type:  Bugs              |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  serialization
  Version:  Boost 1.55.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                    |
------------------------------+---------------------------
 I received the following run-time error:

 Assertion failed: (__null != bpos), function save, file
 /opt/local/include/boost/archive/detail/oserializer.hpp, line 436.

 This is caused by the following lines:
 {{{
             // since true_type is valid, and this only gets made if the
             // pointer oserializer object has been created, this should
 never
             // fail
             const basic_pointer_oserializer * bpos
                 = static_cast<const basic_pointer_oserializer *>(
                     boost::serialization::singleton<
                         archive_serializer_map<Archive>
                     >::get_const_instance().find(*true_type)
                 );
             BOOST_ASSERT(NULL != bpos);
             if(NULL == bpos)
                 boost::serialization::throw_exception(
                     archive_exception(
                         archive_exception::unregistered_class,
                         "derived class not registered or exported"
                     )
                 );
 }}}

 Instead of the BOOST_ASSERT, I would have preferred to receive the
 respective error message.
