#10348: Compilation failure in shared_ptr_helper.hpp
---------------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  gary.mirams@…  |      Owner:  ramey
     Type:  Bugs           |     Status:  new
Milestone:  Boost 1.57.0   |  Component:  serialization
  Version:  Boost 1.56.0   |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                 |
---------------------------+---------------------------
 As part of the Chaste simulator (https://chaste.cs.ox.ac.uk/trac) we use
 boost serialization, and test compatibility with multiple versions of
 Boost (1.40-1.55 inclusive).

 We tested it out with the new boost 1.56, but got the following compiler
 error:

 I fixed this with two new boost #includes in
 `boost/serialization/shared_ptr_helper.hpp`, to include files in the
 serialization library that are mentioned in this file, but not #included.

 So I've submitted a pull request on github to fix it.

 (sorry, trac wouldn't let me create a ticket with links to the pull
 request)
