[serialization][msvc-7.0] permission to mark as expected failure

Hello, test_reset_object_address and test_reset_object_address_dll are failing in MSVC 7.0 with a compiler limit problem: http://tinyurl.com/ymmdwa http://tinyurl.com/yeajow The cause of the problem has little to do with the functionality being tested --the compiler simply chokes on too much complex code. The usual workaround consists in splitting the source code in several smaller translation units, but this is probably not worth the effort here given the relative obsolescence of the offending compiler. So, any objection to my marking these two as expected failures, with an associated note explaining the situation? Thank you, Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo.

Go ahead, Actually there are a few of these cases. Feel free to mark any of them not already marked up. Robert Ramey Joaquín Mª López Muñoz wrote:

Hello, I just marked those two and also another one (an ICE) on qcc-3.3.5_gpp, so the unresolved issues count for Boost.Serialization is now zero :) We're so very close... Best, Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo
