I have made the following change in my test copy typedef iterators::xml_escape<const wchar_t *> xmbtows; std::copy( xmbtows(BOOST_MAKE_PFTO_WRAPPER(ws.data())), xmbtows(BOOST_MAKE_PFTO_WRAPPER(ws.data() + ws.size())), boost::archive::iterators::ostream_iterator<wchar_t>(os) ); It does compile with VC 7.1 - we'll see how other platforms like it.

The original code of yours can pass when using ms-stl , but will fail with stlport.
Can you explain that ?
I test with stl_port 4.53 I don't know what the differences are.
Do you think the modified code is right ?
basically yes, it also eliminates a wcslen which is a good thing.
How Can I build successfully without alter your code(I like stlport and do not want to define macro BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING to avoid compile error ) ?
Just change your personal copy. Any changes made now won't appear in the official boost library until version 1.33 Robert Ramey
