It’d be nice if serialization worked with MPI for the release, though

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?

No part of Boost MPI is usable, meaning no code built on top of Boost.MPI will compile.

Just tried.

Thanks for the info.. But given that we don't have *any* test results with MPI passing (i.e. nothing on develop yet).. I'm afraid it's going to stay broken this release.

I just applied a patch that should get all of graph, graph_parallel, and MPI passing on develop. Tomorrow should be clean, if you can wait that long. Noel
