Re: [boost] [serialization] The constant object problem

I just ported all our code using Boost.Serialization over to 1.33 today 
and came across similar problems so I thought I'd add some comments as 
additional data points. In all cases the problems were trivial to fix 
(making Save() member functions const for example) and only came across 
a single case of serialising a local variable in our code, the fix there 
was also relatively trivial, so all in all this didn't cause us much 
grief at all.  The bigger problem I have is with the added included 
dependancy order (archives must be included before any other 
serialisation files) which caused a big rearrangment of our headers and 
was a pain to deal with. Luckily for us these were all internal headers 
but it just reminds me of the problems with header dependancy that 
boost\serialisation\shared_ptr.hpp had and that have been happily 
resolved in this release. This is a much bigger issue for me and 
something that really should be readdressed.

cheers

Martin
