There are a few other warning messages if you care to know about them:
./boost/archive/polymorphic_iarchive.hpp:60: warning: 'class boost::archive::polymorphic_iarchive' has virtual functions but non-virtual destructor

This is explained in the code in the cited place. it turns out that for particular reasons, polymophic archives can't be destroyed through the base class pointer. For this reason, the destructor is marked "protected"
The explanation in that comment is: ... there is no way to forward to the "true" destructor. I would have thought that simply making the polymorphic_[i,o]archive destructors virtual (as was discussed a few weeks ago when I brought up the problem of destructor slicing for these classes) would solve this problem. What am I overlooking?
