I have been experimenting with the boost serialization library. It seems to do what I need. I am using Boost_1_33_1 and Microsoft’s VC8 compiler. When I create a simple little program, I’m getting a lot of compiler warnings even at the /w3 level. Could compiler switches or installation configuration be the problem?
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include
#include
typedef std::vectorstd::wstring VCT_WSTR;
struct Foo {
VCT_WSTR vws;
private:
// Take care of serializing the class
friend class boost::serialization::access;
template< class Archive > void serialize( Archive &ar, unsigned int ver );
};
BOOST_CLASS_VERSION ( Foo, 1 )
template< class Archive >
void Foo::serialize( Archive &ar, unsigned int /* ver */ )
{
ar & vws;
}
// text archive
void Test1( const Foo &foo )
{
unsigned int flags = boost::archive::no_header |
boost::archive::no_codecvt |
boost::archive::no_xml_tag_checking;
std::wstringstream wos;
boost::archive::text_woarchive oa(wos,flags);
oa & foo;
std::wcout << L"Foo is " << wos.str() << L"\n";
wos.str(L""); // reset the output stream
oa & foo;
std::wcout << L"Foo is " << wos.str() << L"\n";
}
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
argc; argv;
// Set up some recognizable values
Foo foo;
for( size_t i=0; i < 5; ++i )
foo.vws.push_back( L"Big String for vws" );
Test1( foo );
return 0;
}
