This problem first appeared when Mattias Troyer merged his work on the branch fast_array_serialization to the trunk, on Apr 30th, and it's causing every (or nearly every) file which includes some of Boost.Serialization to crash under MSVC 6.5. I guess the solution is to #ifdef the stuff out for this compiler, but I don't know if this could have unforeseen implications (my hunch is it won't, though, but Mattias us surely in a better position to assess this.)
I know a workaround and will implement it tomorrow.

The workaround is now applied. The new version makes use of the array- serialization dispatch used in 1.34, but uses array wrappers. Can someone please test this with MSVC?
Hello Matthias,
I can confirm that your applied patch makes some serialization- based code that used to work do work again under MSVC 6.5, no "zero-sized array" errors anymore. Is there any specific test case you want me to try focusing on array-specific issues?
It's good that the zero-sized array problem is now solved. As long as Robert wants to support MSVC 6.5 I want to make sure that my changes do not break anything that worked before. Since the regression tests still run on RC_1_34_0 I can't see what other things might be broken. I would appreciate if you inform me in case that see anything that is broken for MSVC due to my changes. Matthias
