Actually, this doesn't fix anything. Since changes to binary archives where checked in, any archive classes derived from this archive are no longer guarenteed to work. Portable archive is such a class. In fact, the original intent of the example was to illustrate how to make a new archive by deriving from an existing one. The changes to binary archive now render this example incorrect and misleading. I would not now recommend using binary archive as a base class for this reason. The new version of portable archive - recently checked into the trunk - fixes this by not being based on binary archive any more. It's been tested to create portable archives - but its still being checked out. Unfortunately, this was not discovered until late in the developement cycle and its not a trivial fix. It ripples through the documentation. And of course, we need a new example to illustrate how best to do this. And this entails making a good example, and test and corresponding documentation. So its not a trivial fix. The only fix at this point is to update the Introduction section to include the information related above. Robert Doug Gregor wrote:

There are a few 1.35.0 regressions I'm not particularly concerned about; VC++ 7.1 is now old news, and no one seems to care much about the Intel/Windows compiler.
Given that VC++ 9.0 has been out for awhile now, it would be nice to kill off a few more of those regressions before 1.35.0 ships:
* Graph
As Richard Webb noted, it fails for the same reason as VC++ 8.0 fails, so we should just mark this as "expected" as well. Okay for me to go ahead and do that on the trunk and release branch?
Red regressions I'm concerned about are:
* Numeric/interval on Darwin. * Serialization on Darwin.
This is the trivial patch to fix the Serialization failures on Darwin:
Index: libs/serialization/example/portable_binary_oarchive.hpp =================================================================== --- libs/serialization/example/portable_binary_oarchive.hpp (revision 43724) +++ libs/serialization/example/portable_binary_oarchive.hpp (working copy) @@ -52,7 +52,7 @@ public: friend class boost::archive::basic_binary_oarchive<portable_binary_oarchive>; friend class boost::archive::save_access; #endif - void save_impl(const long l){ + void save_impl(long l){ long ll = l; char size = 0; if(l < 0){
Tested on Darwin (both PowerPC and Intel); shall I commit to the trunk and the release branch?
