Father contains a Child member, and Child contains a pointer to Father. There is a way to serialize and deserialize this structure in such a way that an extra object of type Child is created. I believe that pointer_conflict should be thrown during serialization instead. The created XML archive (see attachment) is consistent, so the extra object is created during deserialization. I observed this behavior in 1.57 and 1.62." Bugs closed To Be Determined serialization Boost 1.62.0 Problem wontfix
