Comment (by Xiaolong <xwu622@…>):

 Here are more details about this issue.
 I have 6 analytic libraries. I create a static library of boost-
 serialization wrapper for each of them. Then I link the 6 static
 serialization libraries into a dynamic library.

 I cannot use dynamic wrapper, because there would be one copy of
 singleton<detail::ktmap> in each wrapper.

 I found a workaround: linking directly to the .obj files, instead of
 linking to the 6 static library wrappers, when link the dynamic library.

 In summary: the class hierarchy tree map cannot across dll boundary. That
 makes it difficult to use boost-serialization to large scale projects.

 Having to link all serialization code into a single dll also caused errors
 like "file size exceeded 1G limit" (on linux), "the number of symbols
 exceeded 65535 limit" (on Windows).
