I am trying to add boost serialization to my C++/CLI project to allow data to be saved. I have created 2 simple classes, Population and Command to test if saving is possible. [I have installed boost 1.36.0, and have compiled the serialization library with bjam. I created a project with the first code example from the serialization tutorial and it does work properly.] I have tried everything to squash the flood of errors (18 usually) that result from compilation attempts. Is managed code completely incompatible with the serialization library? Any help is greatly appreciated. //Population.h #pragma once #include "boost\archive\text_iarchive.hpp" #include "boost\archive\text_oarchive.hpp" ref class Population { public: template void serialize(Archive &ar, const unsigned int version) { friend class boost::serialization::access; ar &m_iMembers; ar &m_iEpochs; ar &m_iCurrentEpoch; } public: Population() { m_iEpochs = 1; m_iMembers = 1; m_iCurrentEpoch = 1; } Population(int iEpochs, int iMembers); Population(Population %Old); Population(int iEpo, int iMem, int iCur): m_iEpochs(iEpo), m_iMembers(iMem), m_iCurrentEpoch(iCur) {} public: int m_iMembers; int m_iEpochs; int m_iCurrentEpoch; }; /////Population.cpp #include "StdAfx.h" #include "Population.h" #include #include #include #include Population::Population(int iEpochs, int iMembers) { m_iEpochs = iEpochs; m_iMembers = iMembers; m_iCurrentEpoch = 1; } Population::Population(Population %Old) { m_iEpochs = Old.m_iEpochs; m_iMembers = Old.m_iMembers; m_iCurrentEpoch = Old.m_iCurrentEpoch; } //Command.h #pragma once #include "Population.h" #include ref class Command { public: Command(void); void SavePop(); }; //Command.cpp #include "StdAfx.h" #include "Command.h" Command::Command(void) { } void Command::SavePop() { Population pop1(1,2,3); std::ofstream ofs("PopSave"); boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(ofs); oa << pop1;//commenting this line out allows no error
