Yes and yes. I am aware boost::serialization needs to be built.

Hello boost,

Hi,

...

I started using the new serialization library. I use it to serialize a class which contains, among other things, a std::set >

The project compiles just fine with many warnings because RTTI is not turned on but it compiles. However it does not link. I get this error:

Are you aware that unlike much of boost, the serialization library contains implementation files that must be built?

...

Sorry for the length of the error. Anyway, I am using VC++ 7.1. I don't know if it matters but my project has the "Treat wchar_t as built in type" option turned on.

Any idea what am I doing wrong? Thanks,

BTW, you have sent your post as a reply to a post on a completely different subject.

Hello Delfin, This error neither depends on the way you are trying to serialize the set (list, vector, etc...) or whether serialization library is built. I had the same problem and post the report about the probable reasons of bug along with suggestion how to fix it in gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel. This issue is still unresolved. The quick workaround for you is to define BOOST_NO_ARGUMENT_DEPENDENT_LOOKUP in your project. This will force load and save methods to be defined in the serialization namespace, otherwise they would be defined in the std namespace that cause the error in linker. -- Vyacheslav E. Andrejev System Architect, Excelsior, LLC DR> I thought I should probably mention how I'm serializing this DR> container. It is something like this: DR> DR> std::set > sMySet; DR> DR> template<class TArchive> DR> void serialize(TArchive & ar, const unsigned int /* file_version */) DR> { DR> ar & boost::serialization::make_nvp("my_set", m_sMySet); DR> } DR> And my archive is an xml archive. DR> DR> Would it be possible that because this is a set of strings and in DR> xml everything has to be name/value pairs the serialization library DR> simply cannot serialize a set of strings because it does not know DR> what name to give in the xml to each element that hold every value DR> of the set? If that is the case how can I serialize this set? Do I DR> have to iterate through it and serialize it myself (provide the DR> names myself)? DR> DR> Once more the linker error is: DR> DR> error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl DR> boost::serialization::load std::list std::char_traits,class std::allocator >,class DR> std::allocator std::char_traits,class std::allocator > > > DR> >(class boost::archive::xml_iarchive &,class std::list<class DR> std::basic_string,class DR> std::allocator >,class std::allocator<class DR> std::basic_string,class DR> std::allocator > > > &,unsigned int)" ... referenced in DR> function "public: static void __cdecl DR> boost::serialization::free_loader<class DR> boost::archive::xml_iarchive,class std::list<class DR> std::basic_string,class DR> std::allocator >,class std::allocator<class DR> std::basic_string,class DR> std::allocator > > > >::invoke(class DR> boost::archive::xml_iarchive &,class std::list<class DR> std::basic_string,class DR> std::allocator >,class std::allocator<class DR> std::basic_string,class DR> std::allocator > > > &,unsigned int)" DR> DR> Thanks DR> DR> -delfin DR>
