Compling error on ubuntu: invalid initialization of non-const reference

[acroph]

Hello, while i'm compiling this project, i have encountered following errors:

vanilla-rtb/rtb/messaging/serialization.hpp:222:28: error: invalid initialization of non-const reference of type ‘long unsigned int&’ from an rvalue of type ‘jsonv::detail::string_view::size_type {aka long unsigned int}’

Seem like the initialization od value.size() is invalid, yet i'm not aware how to initialize it correctly. Looking forward for your help.

Please let us know version of

• gcc
• boost
• cmake

Hi ptx9363,
We have discovered an issue with boost versions < 1.60 as it declared operator with reference and not
const reference

Archive & operator&(T & t)

And it's been a known issue in boost.serialization for a while and it's been fixed in 1.60 onward

Archive & operator&(const T & t)

Please upgrade your boost to >= 1.60 .
I am going to close this issue as resolved by pull request #54
If after upgrade it does not work for you please re-open this issue.
