[Boost-users] When to close ofstream in XML serialize

In following function code, ofs.close() results in failure to write last end
tag of XML archive, apparently because stream is closed before destructor is
executed, so when do we execute ofs.close() ? ofs.flush does not help either
or shell we skip executing any flush or close and just return from function
?

 

template<class T>

void Serialize(const char * filename)

{

            std::ofstream ofs(filename);

            assert(ofs.good());

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

            oa << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(T);

            ofs.close();

}
