hello everybody, this is first post

i have some questions after reading the Boost documentation of serialization and MPI,
is it possible to serialize my custom objects with Boost.serialize and then send/receive them using plain openMPI as MPI_BYTE type??

the other question is
on the tutorials i only found examples of serializing objects to archive and saving to file, but i didnt find any example where they serialize it to a binary form and send them through mpi, is there any example of this type on the documentation?

best regards
Cristobal
