[Boost-users] Boost::Serialization Compile error and my temporary solution,

Dear Robert Ramey,
        I'm SO sorry to bother you again!
When I compile  Boost::Serialization(version 1.32.0) using msvc71+stlport4.6.2,
I fond compile error in the file "xml_escape.hpp" line 47.
I followed the way compile shown , and find the cause is in file 
"xml_woarchive_impl.ipp" line 108 . 

        I think it is more reasonable to alter the function like this :

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#ifndef BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING
template<class Archive>
void xml_woarchive_impl<Archive>::save(const std::wstring & ws){
    typedef iterators::xml_escape<std::wstring::const_iterator> xmbtows;

        // This is changed by zhengyi !! otherwise ,using stlport can not 
        // compile successfully
        std::copy(
                xmbtows(BOOST_MAKE_PFTO_WRAPPER(ws.begin()/*ws.data()*/)),
                xmbtows(BOOST_MAKE_PFTO_WRAPPER(ws.end()/*ws.data() + ws.size()*/)),
                boost::archive::iterators::ostream_iterator<wchar_t>(os)
                );
}
#endif //BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

When I using above code instead yours, the compiler seems happy.
and when i switch to ms stl ,that's ok.

The original code of yours can pass when using  ms-stl , but will fail with stlport.

Can you explain that ?
Do you think the modified code is right ?
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 ) ?

Thanks for your patience to read this letter!

Merry Christmas!! (two days early ^_^)
