Ok. Well, I tried testarray.cpp (which contains the test_array_text_warchive test) and it doesn't build in VC7.1, with the following linker errors, if I turn on the unicode option. I simply made a new project and turned on unicode, and added the file. I don't see why that should have any issues. I have yet to try with 1.34, but I can't see a logical reason why unicode doesn't work, but non-unicode does. I'll get back with the result of 1.34, but again, 1.33.1 does not link for me. The results are as follows: ------ Build started: Project: test_array_text_archive, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ Linking...

Note that all tests (all 50 of them) work with all archive classes that the platform supports. It has been this way since the beginning. As far as I know there is nothing to fix.

Okay, that's fair and fine. However, any explanation for the linker errors that seem to occur only with unicode versions?

Can anyone else try out the demo.cpp example (http://www.boost.org/libs/serialization/example/demo.cpp) with a unicode build, and just change the boost::archive::text_oarchive and boost::archive::text_iarchive to use boost::archive::text_woarchive and boost::archive::text_wiarchive, as well as using wide strings and wide streams? I want to see if anyone else has this issue with 1.33.1?

Any chance this might be fixed in 1.34.0?

Thanks,

Lawrence

Note that the library is in two parts. libboost_serialization.. contains code used for all types of archives while libboost_wserialization contains code used only for wide character archives. So applications using wide character archives should link against BOTH libraries.
