But C 99 standardised the int*_t types and in anticipation that C++ 0x might do the same, boost has them in the integer library ( cstdint.hpp ). Two suggestions *I think* have been made. 1) that the serialisation library recommends to users who want portable archives, should use the boost::int*_t types instead of short, int, etc. 2) That the serialisation library could detect the size of integral types being serialised and use the correct int*_t types instead of short, int etc. /ikh _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
