I'd like to add that the tests with gcc 3.4 passed only if the compiler was on the latest patch level (3.4.1). The serialization library can't be build with gcc 3.4.0 (on linux, at least) ecxept you accept very ungly workarounds. (E.g., the input iterator concept check in libstdc++v3 was broken.)

Understandably.

OK. Thank you for the update, -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering

I can't achieve these good results on Linux with GCC 3.4.0. Is draft #20 the version currently in CVS? If so, only three tests are passing, the 206 other ones are failing because of a failure during the build of the static libraries: /boost/boost/noncopyable.hpp: In copy constructor `boost::archive::class_name_type::class_name_type(const boost::archive::class_name_type&)': /boost/boost/noncopyable.hpp:27: error: `boost::noncopyable::noncopyable(const boost::noncopyable&)' is private /boost/libs/serialization/build/../src/basic_oarchive.cpp:333: error: within this context The serialization library seems to work better with GCC 3.3.4: only six failures. There are around 40 failures with Intel 8.0.58. Regards, Guillaume PS: I'm impressed by the number of tests: 209. That's quite huge.

gcc 3.4.1 fixed several bugs that broke the serialization library.
/boost/boost/noncopyable.hpp: In copy constructor `boost::archive::class_name_type::class_name_type(const boost::archive::class_name_type&)': /boost/boost/noncopyable.hpp:27: error: `boost::noncopyable::noncopyable(const boost::noncopyable&)' is private /boost/libs/serialization/build/../src/basic_oarchive.cpp:333: error: within this context
It's easy to work around this particular problem in a way that should not hurt on other platforms: make the temporary explicit (i.e., construct a local variable and then pass this variable). I don't see a just as easy workaround for gcc 3.4.0 PR #16154 (broken input iterator concept check), though, unless you accept to write your own version of std::copy. After hacking around this issue I got many discouraging compiler failures in the cwchar header... But by then gcc 3.4.1 was released, Robert put serialization#20 on his website, and this combination passed the serialization tests on my machine. Thus I didn't pursue the problems with gcc 3.4.0 any further.
