Unknown exception by boost::serialization in windows

Question

This is what I've tried, but I am getting Error: Unknown exception thrown

try{//load std::ifstream stream(arch_name.c_str()); std::cout << ">> " << "Started deserializing " << arch_name << std::endl; boost::archive::binary_iarchive arc(stream); arc & c & matrix; stream.close(); std::cout << ">> " << "Finished deserializing" << std::endl; }catch(std::exception e){ std::cout << "Error: " << e.what() << std::endl; return 1; }

This is working well in Linux with gcc. I am using Visual Studio in windows.

Edit

backtrace is showing that basic_binary_iprimitive.hpp is throwing exception on

template<class Archive, class Elem, class Tr> inline void basic_binary_iprimitive<Archive, Elem, Tr>::load_binary( void *address, std::size_t count){ //..... if(scount != s) boost::serialization::throw_exception( archive_exception(archive_exception::input_stream_error) );

Edit

I changed the catch black to catch(boost::archive::archive_exception e) and it printed. input stream error

Is there any miss in virtual what in boost archive exception ?

Where is the exception thrown? Enable first-chance exception handling (Debug -> Exceptions, check the C++ Exceptions box). — James McNellis

Yes Thats the option I was looking here and there. I am first time on VisualStudio — Neel Basu

You miss std::ios::binary. It seems to be required on Windows (otherwise EOL characters are corrupted). — Greg

I ran across this question because I had the same problem - a boost serialisation exception on Windows. I found the solution in Greg's comments: define the i/o mode when creating the data stream.

I changed this:

std::ofstream ofs(filename); boost::archive::binary_oarchive ar(ofs);

To this:

std::ofstream ofs(filename, std::ios::binary); boost::archive::binary_oarchive ar(ofs);

And then no more exceptions occurred when deserialising!

I thought this question needed an actual answer (not just a comment), so I'm adding it myself, but all credit goes to Greg.
