Re: [Boost-users] Boost serialization xml format and xml comments

Is there a reason why the xml parser for the Serialization library can't handle comments in the xml files? Or was this just an oversight.

lol - ne reason in particular. The xml_iarchive was built to read files created by xml_oarchive. In fact its a little more lenient than this minimum - but not all that much.

Has anybody modified the grammar so that it will work with comments in the xml files?

This would be quite easy to do -- but -- you have to get somewhat familiar with spirit first. This somewhat of a detour but its kind of a fun detour and the total time would be about the same as hacking some other solution. Good luck.

Thanks Matt S.
