     Type:  Bugs          |      Status:  new          
Milestone:  Boost 1.37.0  |   Component:  serialization
  Version:  Boost 1.36.0  |    Severity:  Problem      
 Keywords:                |  
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 The following example fails to compile, trying to find a .serialize()
 member function in an int*. Clearly the user can program around this, but
 serializing pointers-to-pointers seems a natural capability that should be
 in the library.

 #include    <fstream>

 #include    "boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp"

 class       foo {

    friend class boost::serialization::access;

    template<class archive>

    void        serialize(archive& ar, const unsigned int version) {

                    ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(buff);

                    ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(ptr);

                    }

 public:

                foo() : ptr(&buff[3]) {}

    int*        buff[10];

    int**       ptr;

    };

 int main() {

        foo f;

        std::ofstream   serial("serial");

        boost::archive::text_oarchive   oa(serial);

        oa << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(f);

        return 0;

        }
