[Boost-users] [Serialization] a coupla crashes from hiearchy complexity

I am using the serialization library in boost 1.33.1.  I am compiling on
windows using the VC 7.1 compiler.

 

The problem I am having is that when I use xml_iarchive and
xml_oarchive, everything works just fine for simple cases, but if the
xml gets very deep ( same exact class hierarchy, just more data
organized a little more complexly) I am getting runtime stack overflow
crashes in the spirit parser.  I figured I could solve that by simply
substituting text_iarchive and text_oarchive.   Please note that I am
simply substituting in these archive types instead of using the xml
archive headers, which work.  There are no other code changes anywhere.

 

Now I am getting the following compiler error:

 

\boost\mpl\eval_if.hpp(40) : fatal error C1204: compiler limit :
internal structure overflow

 

Any suggestions?  I can try increasing the stack size of my current
application to eliminate the xml runtime stack overflow problem, but I
am uneasy doing this until I understand how to calculate the stack sizes
required, and why it is happening.  Furthermore, I would prefer using
the text archives, since the data is more compact than the xml ones.
