Yes, I understand that. I am sorry I should have been more clear; the base
class is abstract. I am able to get the "unregistered class" exception in
test_no_rtti.cpp, in load_derived, by removing the serializations using
derived class pointers (which register the classes). When execution tries to
serialize using the base class pointer, the "unregistered class" exception
is thrown. I expect this to not happen because all the classes are
registered using BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT. Could BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT not be
working? Do you see this when commenting out the derived class
serializations in load_derived?

Thanks,

Only polymophic types can be serialized through a base class pointer.
