I've discovered that recent changes in binary_?archive render portable_binary_?archive unusable. It was originally made as an example to demostrate extension via inheritance. Since it no longer serves that purpose, it will be removed in the near future. Robert Ramey Boris Gubenko wrote:
Two serialization library tests: test_demo_portable_archive[_dll] fail to compile on many platforms with invalid type conversion error. I did not check all the platforms, but I'd expect it to fail on any big endian platform. The patch below fixes the problem, verified on HP-UX with both aC++ and gcc.
Ok to commit?

Thanks, Boris
