The release notes page makes reference to:
Differences from Draft #20 - Support for Argument Dependent Looup for serialization override invocations. - Enhanced documentation to help explain usage of the above. Where might this be found? A link here would be useful.
Its in the section "Reference/Class Serialization/Splitting serialize into save/load/namespaces.
I was expecting more on the issues associated with ADL here but didn't find any such discussion in this portion of the documentation. I've hunted about a bit and haven't found mention elsewhere, but that doesn't confirm that it's not there. :)
This aspect is something I'm unhappy about and will try to address in the next version. Unfortunately, like everything else, its not as easy as it appears.
I'm not sure if your refering to the documentation or to the actual facilities. I did find that #define'ing BOOST_NO_ARGUMENT_DEPENDENT_LOOKUP in each translation unit where serialization functions/methods are instantiated solve my std::set<std::string> problems as described in my other recent postings. Also this resolves issues with VC7.1 compiler fatal errors due to complexity. So is using BOOST_NO_ARGUMENT_DEPENDENT_LOOKUP with VC7.1 a general requirement? Does this have effect on other boost libraries? Just to let you know, with the above #def I've successfully converted my application to use boost 1.32.0 from 1.31.0 + serialization20. The other change was ensuring that all my serialization methods used const unsigned int version arguments. I think I had some without the const and without the unsigned from earlier versions of the library. Great job on the library and many thanks for all of your efforts. Thanks, Jeff
