However, do you (and the rest of the boost community) really want to release this in it's current state? Should every development group using gcc and the serialization library have to locally work around this? How many queries about this are there going to be on the boost mailing lists between now and a release that addresses this? And how many potential users of the library are going to try it, get large numbers of warnings, and go elsewhere?
I would like to support this opinion. We have several libraries and applications based on boost and usually get a large number of user complaints for each warning produced when compiling our codes.
We really need a volunteer to fix the regression system so that developers can actually see warnings -- be aware that when things compile with warnings there is NO indication in the regression system. So rather than just fix the one problem, we need someone to work on the general problem so we can start tracking warnings as an issue before release rather than after... Jeff
