806	serialization of classes with overloaded operator & fails	nobody	Robert Ramey	"{{{
the serialization of the following class fails to compile 
at line 363 in detail/iserializer.hpp, struct load_standard, method invoke, line
void * x = & const_cast<typex &>(t);

class wrapped_value
{
public:
	const int* operator & ()
	{ // returns the address of the wrapped integer, which may noy be the same as the address of the instance
		return &a;
	}

	template <typename Archive>
	void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned version)
	{
		ar & a;
	}
private:
	int a;
};

due to the overloaded '&' operator getting the address of the instance fails. a proposed patch is
void * x = boost::addressof( const_cast<typex &>(t) );

which seems to compile and work correctly

cheers
