11974,Wrong problem description in xml_archive_exception,andrey_Elizarov@…,Robert Ramey,"xml_archive_exception::what() function returns incorrect problem description when deserialize corrupted XML file. Here is the code that thorws xml_archive_exception when some XML file is missing some required node:


        try
	{
		someConfigClass.ResetSettings();[[BR]]
		std::ifstream ifs(ConfFileName.c_str());[[BR]]
		assert(ifs.good());[[BR]]
		boost::archive::xml_iarchive ia(ifs);[[BR]]

		ia >> BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(someConfigClass); '''<---EXCEPTION HERE'''[[BR]]


		ifs.close();[[BR]]
	}
	catch(boost::archive::xml_archive_exception& e)
	{
		logger.Write(Logger::EError, e.what()); '''<--HERE THE DESCRIPTION IS RETURNED'''[[BR]]

		return false;
	}

In 1.52 version the xml_archive_exception::what() returned the following:


''XML start/end tag mismatch – SOME_MISSING_XML_ELEMENT''

In 1.57 version xml_archive_exception::what() returns this:[[BR]]

''SOME_MISSING_XML_ELEMENT''[[BR]]

The mentioned code has noot been modified for a long time. But the version of  boost has been changed. After that our test team noticed the error.
Unfortunately i did not test it on last version.
