It’d be nice if serialization worked with MPI for the release, though I’m not sure it’s a show stopper.

What is the actual impact of this problem? E.g. which percentage of MPI users will find their code no longer compiling?

Fair question, no idea really. I know that Boost MPI's used on multiple projects where I work, though it’s easy enough for us to just skip using the 1.61 release to avoid breaking our MPI serialization code.

Sorry if my ignorance of how MPI shows :-) .. How much of MPI is usable with this problem? Is it usable at all? Is it partially usable?

The core of MPI works fine. You’ll only have problems if use the Boost MPI capability to serialize across the parallel machine. Noel
