[Boost-users] Serialization library difficulties moving from 1.32 to 1.33

Hello all,

This is my first message so please forgive me if I've got the wrong list
or a like blunder.  

I have a project using the Boost Serialization library with a custom
archive.  It works fine under Boost 1.32, but fails to compile under
1.33.  A condensed test case:

///////////////////////
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/archive/detail/common_oarchive.hpp>

class TestOArchive:
    public boost::archive::detail::common_oarchive<TestOArchive>
{
private:
    friend class boost::archive::save_access;
public:
    void save_binary(void *address, size_t count);
private:
    void save(int i) {std::cout << "got an int: " << i << '\n';}
    void save(const char* p) {std::cout << "got a char*: " << p <<
'\n';}
};

int main()
{
    TestOArchive ar;
    ar << 3;
    return 0;
}
///////////////////////

The test case is lifted almost directly from the documentation; it
compiles and runs fine under 1.32 but does not compile under 1.33 (g++
3.4.4 on Linux).  The first of several error messages:

/usr/local/include/boost-1_33/boost/archive/detail/interface_oarchive.hp
p: In member function `const
boost::archive::detail::basic_pointer_oserializer*
boost::archive::detail::interface_oarchive<Archive>::register_type(const
T*)':
/usr/local/include/boost-1_33/boost/archive/detail/interface_oarchive.hp
p:66: error: invalid use of undefined type `const struct
boost::archive::detail::basic_pointer_oserializer'
/usr/local/include/boost-1_33/boost/archive/detail/basic_oarchive.hpp:43
: error: forward declaration of `const struct
boost::archive::detail::basic_pointer_oserializer'

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Andrew
