[Boost-users] [serialization] anyone using portable binary archives?

Is anyone here using portable binary archive? It seems that serialization by pointer doesn't work. Example demo_portable_archive doesn't link after changing "char c" to "A* c". I don't understand why, it is also not listed in TODO http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/libs/serialization/doc/todo.html polymorphic_portable_binary_archive doesn't compile at all, it includes missing boost/archive/detail/polymorphic_oarchive_dispatch.hpp I tested boost 1.42, 1.43, msvc71, msvc90.
