[Boost-users] [serialization] problems extending existing archive type

Subject: [Boost-users] [serialization] problems extending existing archive type
From: Kenny Riddile (kfriddile_at_[hidden])

I recently revisited a problem I was having trouble solving awhile ago, 
and I'm still having issues.  I wish to create a new archive type that 
is simply an extension of xml_iarchive that takes an additional 
construction parameter and then be able to retrieve that value from the 
archive later.  This new archive type is part of a static library.  See 
attached Archive.hpp/cpp for my most recent attempt.  I should also 
mention that BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK is globally defined in my environment. 
This is the cause of the errors in output1.txt.  After looking at 
archive/detail/decl.hpp, I was able to get my static library to compile 
by defining BOOST_ARCHIVE_SOURCE while compiling the static library.  I 
then get the linker errors in output2.txt when trying to use the new 
archive type from an executable.  I'm sure I'm just missing something 
simple, but I need some hand-holding here because I've been at this awhile.

Thanks,
Kenny Riddile
