XML serialization <item_version> appears as character rather than e.g. 0

[ramon.casellas@…]

In previous versions (tested with 1.42) serializing e.g. a container using XML gave:

<osnr class_id="6" tracking_level="0" version="0">

<count>3</count> <item_version>0</item_version> <item class_id="7" tracking_level="0" version="0">

..

Using boost trunk, <osnr class_id="5" tracking_level="0" version="0">

<count>0</count> <item_version>^{@</item_version>}

</osnr>

In both cases: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?> <!DOCTYPE boost_serialization> <boost_serialization signature="serialization::archive" version="7"> <g class_id="0" tracking_level="0" version="0">

Maybe needs a cast?

System: Debian GNU/Linux GCC 4.4.3 or 4.5 2.6.32

Thank you in advance R.

This would be a huge problem.

And I've confirmed it.

I'm looking into it.

Thanks for catching this in advance of 1.44 release.

BTW - On my cygwin gcc setup I have one test that fails - test_utf8_codecvt. I'm guessing that something is out of whack with the way codecvt is used/implemented that only shows up with certain compilers/libraries.

Keep up the good work.

Let me know if I can be of any help in testing, etc. My environment is just debian/ubuntu with gcc 4.3 or 4.5.

Thank you for your prompt reaction and for Serialization in general :) R.
