Note: the function of 'delete_created_pointers' is to delete any pointer created during the process of loading. Construction of an archive creates no such pointers. So not calling 'delete_created_pointers' in this case will have no effect and does not need to be called.

Hi

Since I throw an exception in "load", following your earlier advice (conditional loading), I wonder if I should call delete_created_pointers or the archives' destructors make that redundant.

The archive destructors don't do this. I thought it might be presumptuous. To my mind, the best solution is to use smart_pointers and serialize them. Robert Ramey
