[Boost-users] boost serialization & C++ STL

 Is it right to use serialization library in the following environment,

**********************
Main1.cpp : Compiled with Gcc stores map in /tmp/z
**********************
(1) main1.cpp
--------------------
 #include <map>
#include<string>
#include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp>
#include <boost/serialization/map.hpp>
#include <boost/serialization/string.hpp>

 int main()
{
   std::ofstream f("/tmp/z");
   boost::archive::text_oarchive oar(f);
   std::map<std::string, std::string> a;
..... //Some data added to this map

   oar & a;
   return 0;
}
**************************
main2.cpp : Compiled with Forte compiler (or say older version of GCC) loads
map stored in /tmp/z
*******************************
(2) main2.cpp
-----------------------------------------------
  #include <map>
#include<string>
#include <boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp>
#include <boost/serialization/map.hpp>
 int main()
{
   std::ifstream f("/tmp/z");
   boost::archive::text_iarchive iar(f);
   std::map<std::string, std::string> a;

   iar & a;

   return 0;
}
***********************************

Can such use create problems especially with STL and their vendor specific
implementations?

Thanks,
Sameer
