[Boost-users] Compiler does not give error for missing serialize function

Hi 
I have the following code :

class MyClass
{
  private:
    friend class boost::serialization::access;
    template<class Archive>
    void serialize(Archive &ar, const unsigned int version) {}
};

class MyClass2 : public MyClass {};

MyClass2* ss = new MyClass2;
std::ofstream ofs("C:\\test.xml");
boost::archive::xml_oarchive oa(ofs);
oa & boost::serialization::make_nvp("test",ss);

I am serializing trough the derived class pointer. The derived class doesnot
have serialize function. The Base have. And I was expecting compiler to give
me error that MyClass2 doesnot have serialize function. But this code
compiles without errors. I am using vs2010.
