[boost] [1.33.0][iostreams][serialization]

2 Aug 2005

      I've spent the last several hours trying to update my project with 
1.33.0.RC. The only changes were naming issues with iostreams, and the 
getting rid of the lovely :) asserts on serialization inclusions previous to 
archive inclusions. Also an issue with operator << and const_cast-ing 
appears below, and switching to the standard 
BOOST_SHARED_POINTER_EXPORT_GUID macro which now appears to handle pointers 
in namespaces properly. All compiles and links succesfully under VC7.1.

Rudimentary xml serialization seems to save/load succesfully. I am having an 
problems when using iostreams/serialization together to support 
copy/paste/drag/drop under Windows MFC. Which all worked flawlessly using 
1.32.0 along with pre-release iostreams.

I'd appreciate it if anyone sees anything blatantly wrong with the code 
below. CSharedFileSink::write is not being called at all. This leads and 
assert in MFC's CSharedFile::Detach because the file has never been written 
to. The member CSafeDataSource::GlobalArchiveHdl instantiates a 
CSharedFileOStream and attempts to serialize it's mVal data member to a 
binary archive.

Thanks in advance, Jeff
