Hello, I am getting the compiler warnings below when I include the following in a source file. #include <boost/archive/binary_iarchive.hpp> Everything works fine, but I was wondering if there's any way to get rid of the warnings. I am using boost 1.34.0 on windows XP, and building using Visual Studio 8.
