Hi Boosters,<br><br>I had the compile time warning discussed here (<a href="http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Serialization-C4308-warning-with-MSVC9-td2600175.html">http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Serialization-C4308-warning-with-MSVC9-td2600175.html</a>) that Robert is probably fed up discussing. I&#39;ve read for months, but didn&#39;t want to const_cast my object (or is it ok sometimes?). However, making my destructor virtual removed the warning. Here&#39;s my question: why does making the object destructor virtual remove the warning, effectively making my object instances const?<br>
<br>And the section on this trap from the Rationale section of the Serialization documentation is not in the1.47 version (howcome?) but can be found in previous version here: <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/libs/serialization/doc/rationale.html#trap">http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/libs/serialization/doc/rationale.html#trap</a><br>
<br>Oh, and please forgive me if the answer is *obvious* - just an intermediate programmer.<br><br>Colin<br><br><br>
