Serialization in 1.46 fails

[ipapadop@…]

I have a small test case that uses Boost.Serialization and text_archives. Everything works fine in Boost 1.41, however it fails with a segfault or exception in Boost 1.46.

Test that stresses writing-reading from text archives

[ipapadop@…]

It also runs fine in Boost 1.44

The same test has been tested on a 64bit Linux machine and works fine (Boost 1.46).

Could it be that some of the information of Boost.Serialization is written to the file as a different integral type that it is read?

[ipapadop@…]

With Boost 1.46.1 I cannot reproduce it.

OK, so I can close this?

Confirming that this can't be reproduced.
