boost::basic_binary_oprimitive not instantiated correctly

[theta682@…]

template<class Archive, class Elem, class Tr>
BOOST_ARCHIVE_OR_WARCHIVE_DECL(void)
basic_binary_oprimitive<Archive, Elem, Tr>::save(const std::wstring &ws);

template<class Archive, class Elem, class Tr>
BOOST_ARCHIVE_OR_WARCHIVE_DECL(void)
basic_binary_iprimitive<Archive, Elem, Tr>::load(std::wstring & ws);

are not instantiated for boost::binary_oarchive and boost:binary_iarchive (wchar functions for char archives).

Changed milestone to 1.35.0 per request from Robert Ramey.

[theta682@…]

Any news? Will it be fixed in 1.35.0?

[Robert Ramey]

Hmmm - these are implemented as primitives in basic_binary_?primitive.hpp (iff the compiler supports wide character strings). Derived classes forward to there so I can't see where there should be a problem.

There are template functions for wchar_t, but they are not instantiated implicitly. I have to apply this patch:

a) I check the code and don't see why this should be necessary b) The serialization tests serialize wstring. See libs/serialization/test/A.hpp c) send me a small test case which should link but doesn't
