Milestone:  To Be Determined   |  Component:  serialization
  Version:  Boost 1.57.0       |   Severity:  Problem

 xml_archive_exception::what() function returns incorrect problem
 description when deserialize corrupted XML file. Here is the code that
 thorws xml_archive_exception when some XML file is missing some required
 node:


         try
         {
                 someConfigClass.ResetSettings();[[BR]]
                 std::ifstream ifs(ConfFileName.c_str());[[BR]]
                 assert(ifs.good());[[BR]]
                 boost::archive::xml_iarchive ia(ifs);[[BR]]

                 ia >> BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(someConfigClass);
 '''<---EXCEPTION HERE'''[[BR]]


                 ifs.close();[[BR]]
         }
         catch(boost::archive::xml_archive_exception& e)
         {
                 logger.Write(Logger::EError, e.what()); '''<--HERE THE
 DESCRIPTION IS RETURNED'''[[BR]]

                 return false;
         }

 In 1.52 version the xml_archive_exception::what() returned the following:


 ''XML start/end tag mismatch – SOME_MISSING_XML_ELEMENT''

 In 1.57 version xml_archive_exception::what() returns this:[[BR]]

 ''SOME_MISSING_XML_ELEMENT''[[BR]]

 The mentioned code has noot been modified for a long time. But the version
 of  boost has been changed. After that our test team noticed the error.
 Unfortunately i did not test it on last version.
