Hi, I just looked over last night's email and realized what I wrote is about as clear as mud.
The problem is this: when the build options are read from disk by the readOptionalLayerSet method in BuildOptionsIO a leading empty string is retrieved from the stream resulting in an optional layer being added (which doesn't exist in the original file) with an empty name.

My code change does seem to work but it is clearly not the correct solution. Wang Rui (or somebody else familiar with the new serialization), I am hoping that you will be able to point in the in direction of a proper fix as I am now stuck (and it is way past my bedtime : ). The old code was: static bool readOptionalLayerSet( osgDB::InputStream& is, vpb::BuildOptions& bo ) { vpb::BuildOptions::OptionalLayerSet& ols = bo.getOptionalLayerSet(); unsigned int size = 0; is >> size >> osgDB::BEGIN_BRACKET; for ( unsigned int i=0; i<size; ++i ) { std::string value; is.readWrappedString( value ); ols.insert(value); } is >> osgDB::END_BRACKET; return true; } and my 'fix; is: static bool readOptionalLayerSet( osgDB::InputStream& is, vpb::BuildOptions& bo ) { vpb::BuildOptions::OptionalLayerSet& ols = bo.getOptionalLayerSet(); unsigned int size = 0; is >> size >> osgDB::BEGIN_BRACKET; ++size; //new for ( unsigned int i=0; i<size; ++i ) { std::string value; is.readWrappedString( value ); if(!value.empty()) { //new ols.insert(value); } //new } is >> osgDB::END_BRACKET; return true; } Cheers, Brad -----Original Message----- From: osg-users-boun...@lists.openscenegraph.org [mailto:osg-users-boun...@lists.openscenegraph.org] On Behalf Of Christiansen, Brad Sent: Friday, 25 June 2010 12:40 AM To: OpenSceneGraph Users Subject: [osg-users] New problem with VPB serializer Hi, I have just tracked down another issue with the VPB serializer. This time the issue arises when you try to add an optional layer (nb: this fails at an earlier point with the code in trunk at the moment, I will be submitting a fix for that tomorrow, though the issue can be demonstrated without it). When build options that contain an optional layer are serialized an empty entry is added to the list. e.g. OptionalLayerSet 2 { "" "AnOptionalLayerName" } I believe the bug is in BuildOptionsIO.cpp, probably in the SetSerializer class, thought I haven't managed to track it down exactly yet. The attached files can be used to reproduce the error. original.source is a copy of the build_master.source that was written out when I tried to add an optional set. If you run: osgdem -s original.source --so original_resaved.source an error will be produced as the file cannot be read. I have also attached 'fixed.source'. This has had the "" removed (note that the number of items in the set is still set to 2). This file can be de-serialized and then re-serialized but the result has the extra "" included. This can be done by running: osgdem -s fixed.source --so fixed_result.source Cheers, Brad DISCLAIMER:--------------------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail transmission and any documents, files and previous e-mail messages attached to it are private and confidential.
