[Boost-users] bug in boost::serialization XML

From: Robert Bielik (robert.bielik_at_[hidden])

boost::serialization needs empty XML elements on the form:
<ElementName></ElementName>

whereas the preferred (and legal) XML empty element syntax is:
<ElementName/>

boost::serialization chokes on this with a 'stream error' exception.

I've found this because I needed to preprocess the XML before serializing into objects and the third party
XML lib generates empty elements of the latter form.

Thanks
