Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #3368: impl/*.ipp not included

Robert Ramey — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 18:14:56 GMT

what do you think should be changed to implement this?

The only thing that would occur to me is to have basic_binary_oarchive.ipp include archive_pointer....ipp. I'm sort of reluctant to do this as it might make things harder to follow.

note: archive_pointer_?serializer.ipp have are not used in 1.40 onward. archive_pointer_map is used instead.

if this is not needed by the default archives, there could be a header dedicated to custom-built archives. or if these headers are not implementation details (although they seem to be, because you said they won't be there in 1.40) it could just be documented that they have to be included.

I've found 2 or 3 threads in the mailing list archives with question about what causes those undefined references. (and no solution in those threads.)

Replying to ramey:

... Just spent a couple of fun hours trying to figure out what was going wrong. Perhaps it is worth tweaking the documentation a bit more? Or better, have that log_archive example include the ipp files.

And for future searchers, try the above workaround if you get linker errors for newtoken and such, but know you have things linked properly for regular serialization stuff.

As of this moment you're more upto date on this than I am. so if you want to suggest some specific changes, I'll likely take your word that they are OK and just incorporate them.
