Comment(by anonymous):

 If this behavior is by design, then sorry for this bug ticket.

 My intention is to transport binary structures on a platform-dependent
 binary basis, without any member-wise serialization. This must lower CPU
 utilization and thus increase transfer rates. As far as I know this
 feature exists in MPI, so I expected to obtain this behavior in the boost
 wrapper.

 Exactly, by declaring structures as primitive_type I expected to avoid
 serialization procedure at all (and actually after such declaration,
 serialize() becomes unneeded in compile time). But - implementation fails
 with stack overflow.

 Can you advise?
