Hi,

    I am using polymorphic archive in my code and I am using it as follows,

1     void func(std::stringstream &ss,  boost::archive::polymorphic_oarchive
*&ptr)
2    {
3         ptr = new boost::archive::polymorphic_text_oarchive(ss);
4         return;
5    }
6    int main()
7    {
8       std::stringstream ss;
9      boost::archive::polymorphic_oarchive *ptr = NULL;
10       func(ss, ptr);
11       delete ptr;  //Will this delete object properly?????
12   }

Now the question is, whether 'delete' one line no. 11 will work properly or
not?
And is this a right way to use polymorphic archive?

Thanks,
Sameer
