Re: [Boost-users] Compile error using serialize

Thank you. I don't understand all of that explanation but enough that my test 
programs are successfully running.

On a related note, there is a rather inconvenient piece of misinformation in 
the rationale. It refers often to BOOST_SERIALIZATION_TRACKING. However, it 
appears that what it should say is BOOST_CLASS_TRACKING. It actually does say 
that elsewhere. I've not been around long and have not used the ticket system 
but there appears to be no category for documentation issues. For other 
readers it would be nice to get this corrected, that is if I know what I'm 
saying. Suggestions?
