Re: [Boost-users] [serialization] portable serialization archive

The trunk version of portable_binary_iarchive.hpp has the following at 
line 98:

     // default fall through for any types not specified here
     template<class T>
     void load(T & t){
         boost::intmax_t l;
         load_impl(l, sizeof(T));
         // use cast to avoid compile time warning
         t = static_cast<T>(l);
     }

On msvc 8 I get the following warning:

F:\Gene_Codes\External_Libraries\boost_1_34_1\boost/archive/portable_binary_iarchive.hpp(103) 
: warning C4800: 'boost::intmax_t' : forcing value to bool 'true' or 
'false' (performance warning)

The comment on this function implies that there are specializations 
somewhere. Would it make sense to have a void load<bool> specialization 
with:

        t = l? true : false;

Thanks, Jeff
