+<h4>Associated Types</h4>
+Intuitively, a type modeling this concept will generate a sequence of bytes
+corresponding to an arbitrary set of C++ data structures.  Each type modeling the
+Saving Archive concept (SA) may be associated with another type modeling the
+<a href="#loading_interface">Loading Archive Concept</a>(LA).  
+This associated type will perform the inverse operation.  
+That is, given a sequence of bytes generated by SA, it will generate a set of 
+C++ data structures that is equivalent to the original.  
+The notion of equivalence is defined by the implementations of the pair of archives and the
+way the data are rendered <a href="serialization.html">serializable</a>.

-In some cases, an archive may alter (and later restore)
-the codecvt facet of the stream locale.  To suppress this action,
-include the <code style="white-space: normal">no_codecvt</code> flag.

-XML archives contain nested tags signifying the start and end of data fields.
-These tags are normally checked for aggreement with the object name when
-data is loaded.  If a mismatch occurs an exception is thrown.  Its possible
-that this may not be desired behavior.  To suppress this checking of XML

-In this document, we use the term primitive type to mean
-types whose data is simply saved/loaded to/from an archive
-with no further processing.  By default, arithmetic (including characters), 
-bool, and enum types are primitive types.  Using

-described above will generate code to save/load all primitive types
-to/from an archive.  This code will usually just add the
-data to the archive according to the archive format.
-For example, a four byte integer is appended to a binary archive
-as 4 binary bytes while a to a text archive it would be

-will result in a compile time error.  Specification of serialization
-for user defined types is explained in detail in the next section

+This library includes a number of archive implementations that are "ready to go" for the

-To properly save and restore an object through a pointer the

-<ol>
-    <li>If the same object is saved multiple times through different
-    pointers, only one copy of the object need be saved.
-    <li>If an object is loaded multiple times through different pointers,
-    only one new object should be created and all returned pointers
-    should point to it.
-    <li>The system must detect the case where an object is first
-    saved through a pointer then the object itself is saved.
-    Without taking extra precautions, loading would result in the
-    creation of multiple copies of the original object. This system detects
-    this case when saving and throws an exception - see below.
-    <li>An object of a derived class may be stored through a
-    pointer to the base class. The true type of the object must
-    be determined and saved. Upon restoration the correct type
-    must be created and its address correctly cast to the base
-    class. That is, polymorphic pointers have to be considered.
-    <li>NULL pointers must be dectected when saved and restored
-    to NULL when deserialized.
-</ol>
+In some cases, an archive may alter (and later restore)
+the codecvt facet of the stream locale.  To suppress this action,
+include the <code style="white-space: normal">no_codecvt</code> flag.
+<p>
+XML archives contain nested tags signifying the start and end of data fields.
+These tags are normally checked for agreement with the object name when

-    <li>write a special tag to the archive
-    <li>if the object pointed to has not already been written
-    to the archive, do so now
-</ol>
-Loading a pointer:
-<ol>
-    <li>read a tag from the archive.
-    <li>determine the type of object to be created
-    <li>if the object has already been loaded, return it's address.
-    <li>otherwise, create a new instance of the object
-    <li>read the data back in using the operators described above
-    <li>return the address of the newly created object.

-Given that class instances are saved/loaded to/from the archive
-only once, regardless of how many times they are serialized with
-the <code style="white-space: normal">&lt;&lt;</code> 
-and <code style="white-space: normal">&gt;&gt;</code> operators
-<ul>
-    <li>Loading the same pointer object multiple times
-    results in only one object being created, thereby replicating
-    the original pointer configuration. 
-    <li>Structures such as collections of polymorphic pointers,
-    are handled with no special effort on the part of users of this library.
-</ul>
-Serialization of pointers of derived types through a pointer to the
-base class may require a little extra "help".  Also, the programmer
-may desire to modify the process described above for his own reasons.
-For example, it might be desired to suppress the tracking of objects
-as it is known a priori that the application in question can never
-create duplicate objects.  Serialization of pointers can be "fine tuned"
-via the specification of <a target="detail" href="traits.html#Traits">Class Serialization Traits</a>
-as described in
-<a target="detail" href="special.html#derivedpointers">
-another section of this manual
-</a>
-<h4><a name="referenceoperators">References</a></h4>
-In general, references are serialized just as any other objects are.
-However, references have the property that several references may
-refer to the same object - much like pointers.  So, there exists
-the opportunity to gain some storage efficiency by storing only

+
+<h3><a name="motivation">Motivation</a></h3>
+The serialization library needs a system like 
+<code style="white-space: normal">type_info/typeid()</code> to perform
+the following functions
+<ol>
+  <li>
+     given a pointer to a type T discover the true type pointed to.
+  <li>
+     given an "external" key - determine what type of object to create.
+</ol>
+<h3>The problem with <code style="white-space: normal">std::type_info</code></h3>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    The main function we require - <code style="white-space: normal">std::typeid()</code>
+    is not available in all environments. Support for this function depends upon
+    runtime typing(RTTI) support from the compiler.  This may be non-existent
+    or not enabled for reasons such as a percieved inefficiency.
+  <li>
+    <code style="white-space: normal">std::type_info</code> includes a string
+    containing type name.  This would seem to satisfy 2) above.
+    But the format of this string is not consistent accross compilers, libraries, 
+    and operating systems. This makes it unusable for support of portable archives.
+  <li>
+    Even if the type name string could somehow be made portable, there is no 
+    guarentee that class headers would be included in the same name space accross 
+    different applications. In fact, including different headers in different
+    name spaces is an accepted method used to avoid name space conflicts.
+    Thus the namespace::class_name can't be used as a key.
+  <li>
+    There exists the possibility that different classes use different type id 
+    mechanism.  The class header might include this information. If we want to 
+    import class headers accross applications, its convenient that the type id
+    mechanism support inter-operability accross different type id systems.
+</ul>
+<h3>Features</h3>
+<code style="white-space: normal"><a target="extended_type_info.hpp" href = "../../../boost/serialization/extended_type_info.hpp">
+extended_type_info</a></code> is an implementation
+of <code style="white-space: normal">std::type_info</code> functionality with the 
+following features:
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    Builds a set of <a target="extended_type_info.hpp" href = "../../../boost/serialization/extended_type_info.hpp">
+    <code style="white-space: normal">extended_type_info</a></code> records - one for each type
+    serialized.
+  <li>
+    permits association of an arbitrary string key with a type.  Often this key would
+    be the class name - but it doesn't have to be.  This key is referred to as
+    a GUID - Globally Unique IDentifier.  Presumably it should be unique in the universe.
+    Typically this GUID would be in header files and be used to match type accross
+    applications.  The macro BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT can be invoked to associate a string
+    key with any known type.  We'll refer to these types as "exported types"
+  <li>
+    permits the "mixing" of type info systems.  For example, one class might use 
+    <code style="white-space: normal">typeid()</code> to find the external identifier 
+    of a class while another might not.
+</ul>
+
+Exported types are maintained in a global table so that given a string key, the
+corresponding type can be found.  This facility is used by the serialization library
+in order to construct types serialized through a base class pointer.

+<h3><a name="models">Models</a></h3>
+The serialization library includes two distinct
+<code style="white-space: normal"><a target="extended_type_info.hpp" href="../../../boost/serialization/extended_type_info.hpp">extended_type_info</a></code>
+implementations.
+<p>
+<code style="white-space: normal"><h4><a target="extended_type_info_typeid.hpp" href = "../../../boost/serialization/extended_type_info_typeid.hpp">
+extended_type_info_typeid</a></h4></code>is implemented in terms of the standard typeid(). It presumes that RTTI support is enabled
+by the compiler.
+<p>
+<code style="white-space: normal"><h4><a target="extended_type_info_no_rtti.hpp" href="../../../boost/serialization/extended_type_info_no_rtti.hpp">
+extended_type_info_no_rtti</a></h4></code>
+is implemented in a way that doesn't rely on the existence RTTI.
+However, if the export facility is to be used to serialize types
+through base class pointers, those types are required to implement
+a virtual function with the signature:
+
+<code><pre>
+virtual const char * get_key();
+</pre></code>
+which returns a unique string the most derived object this class.  
+This function must be virtual in order to implement the functionality required by
+<code style="white-space: normal">ETI::get_derived_extended_type_info</code>
+as described above.  
+<h3><a name="example">Example</a></h3>
+The test program <code style="white-space: normal"><a target="test_no_rtti" href="../test/test_no_rtti.cpp">test_no_rtti</a></code>
+implements this function in terms of the <code style="white-space: normal"><a target="extended_type_info_no_rtti.hpp" href="../../../boost/serialization/extended_type_info_no_rtti.hpp">
+extended_type_info</a></code> API above to return the export key associated with the class.  
+This requires that non-abstract types be exported. It also demostrates the
+inter-operability with between two different implementations of
+<code style="white-space: normal">extended_type_info</code>.

+
+<h4><a name="vc80">Visual C++ 8.0</a></h4>
+This compiler emits warnings for calls to functions from the standard
+library which are deemed security risks.  The serialization depends upon
+making some of these calls so programs which use the serialization library
+will get warning messages.  These messages can be suppressed from the command 
+line by including the following switch:
+    <pre><code>
+    /wd4996
+    </code></pre>
+
 <h4><a name="vc71">Visual C++ 7.1</a></h4>
-No known issues. All tests compile and run in debug and release modes.
+Derivation from an archive class defined in a DLL as described in ... will not work.
+This is due to the way that VC++ handles templated code with __decl(dllexport) and
+__decl(dllimport) specifications.  Basically, this compiler requires that all the
+instantiations have the same specification - even though they have different
+template arguments. The example <code style="white-space: normal">
+demo_portable_iarchive.cpp</code> would have to reformulated as a library or dll
+similar to the pre-defined archives in order to function.
+<p>
+This compiler does not have RTTI or exception handling turned on by default.  Although
+they are not strictly necessary to use the serialization package, the example and test
+program presume that they are enabled.  So be sure your command line or IDE settings 
+enable these features if you want to build and run these programs.
+<p>
+This compiler can treat <code style="white-space: normal">wchar_t</code> as either
+a short integer or an intrinsic type.
+If <code style="white-space: normal">/Zc:wchar_t</code> is specified on the
+compile command line, <code style="white-space: normal">wchar_t</code> will be 
+considered an intrinsic type - otherwise
+it will be treated as a synonym for a 16 bit integer.  The library can be used
+either way - <strong>BUT</strong> - both the libray <strong>AND</strong> the application 
+must be  compiled with the same switch settings.  Note that <code style="white-space: normal">BJAM</code>
+includes this switch by default.  So if want to use the libraries that
+<code style="white-space: normal">BJAM</code> builds, you should include this switch
+when you compile your own applications.
+<h5>Using the Visual C++ IDE</h5>
+The library includes a VC++ 7.1 "Solution" - <code style="white-space: normal">BoostSerializationLibrary</code>
+along with of a set of project files - one for each demo and test. Consider the following if you
+decided to use these configurations.
+<ul>
+    <li>The projects assume that the tests have been built with bjam using the default
+    locations.  This will result in a <code style="white-space: normal">bin</code> subdirectory
+    within one's main boost directory.  Below this there is a whole structure which maintains 
+    object and library files according to the type of build.  The easiest way to build this is to
+    invoke the runtest script which uses bjam. (see below)  If the libraries are not in these locations,
+    the projects will have to be modified accordingly.
+    <li>There are project configurations for all the combinations of build variants that boost
+    supports. That is for release, debug, static, static multi-threading, etc..
+    <li>If you want to use/debug the DLL versions of libraries and corresponding tests, alter
+    the project file to define <code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK=1</code>.
+    Note that for the executables to run, the <code style="white-space: normal">PATH</code>
+    environmental variable will have to include the directories that contain the DLL versions of
+    the boost libraries.
+    <li>If you have difficulties building your own projects and linking with the boost libraries, 
+    compare the project settings of your own projects with the ones here.  VC sometimes requires
+    consistent settings between projects and the libraries they use in order to link properly.
+    In particular, check support for exceptions, runtime typing(RTTI), and intrinsic support for
+    wide characters.  The standard version of this library presumes that these facilities are
+    enabled.  Projects generated by the IDE wizard do not have these features enabled by default.
+    <li>Frequently when trying to build a project or view project properties, one is presented with
+    a message box with the message "unspecified error".  This seems to occur when one changes the
+    build configuration selection.  It turns out this can be "fixed" by going to the "Build" 
+    menu item, selecting "Configuration Manager" and selecting a build configuration for the project
+    you're working with.
+    <li>To test that boost libraries are built correctly, one can build and test them the way we do.
+    This entails:
+    <ol>
+        <li>downloading a copy of bjam.exe
+        <li>building process_jam_log
+        <li>building compiler_status
+	<li>invoking runtest.bat
+    </ol>
+    This will build the serialization library and run the tests on your system. If there are more than a
+    a couple of test failures, you likely won't be able to get your own projects working.  If most of the
+    tests pass, you can be confident that your own projects will work once you get your project settings
+    in sync with those included here.

+Often users want to add their own special functionality to an
+existing archive.  Examples of this are performance enhancements
+for specific types, Adjustment of output syntax for xml archives,
+and logging/debug output as archives are written and/or read.
+If this functionalty is implemented as an "adaptor" template
+which takes the base class as a template argument, such functionality
+appended to any archive for which that funtionality makes sense.
+For example, an adaptor for generating an xml schema could be
+appended to both wide narrow character versions of xml archives.
+<p>
+This case study would show how to make a useful archive adaptor.
+
+<h2><a name="archivehelper"></a>Archive Helpers</h2>
+Some types are not serializable as they stand.  That is - they
+do not fullfill the requirements of the "Serializable Concept".
+The iconic example of this is boost::shared_ptr.  Sometimes
+these types could be made serializable by adding code inside
+the library.  Of course, doing that would create a lifetime
+of unpaid employment for the library author. Rather than
+adding a bunch of special code to the library itself, this
+code can packaged as a "helper" or "mix-in" class.  Then
+a new archive is derived from both the "base" archive class
+AND the "helper" class.  This is how boost::shared_ptr
+has been implemented.
+<p>
+It would also be possible to make a "generic runtime helper"
+which would effectively extend the API of the library.  Previously
+the library included such a helper class.  It was removed
+in favor of the current implementation.  But this functionality
+should be added back in with another adaptor which would
+become part of the library.

+ This table describes the call tree of the program, and was sorted by
+ the total amount of time spent in each function and its children.
+
+ Each entry in this table consists of several lines.  The line with the
+ index number at the left hand margin lists the current function.
+ The lines above it list the functions that called this function,
+ and the lines below it list the functions this one called.
+ This line lists:
+     index	A unique number given to each element of the table.
+		Index numbers are sorted numerically.
+		The index number is printed next to every function name so
+		it is easier to look up where the function in the table.
+
+     % time	This is the percentage of the `total' time that was spent
+		in this function and its children.  Note that due to
+		different viewpoints, functions excluded by options, etc,
+		these numbers will NOT add up to 100%.
+
+     self	This is the total amount of time spent in this function.
+
+     children	This is the total amount of time propagated into this
+		function by its children.
+
+     called	This is the number of times the function was called.
+		If the function called itself recursively, the number
+		only includes non-recursive calls, and is followed by
+		a `+' and the number of recursive calls.
+
+     name	The name of the current function.  The index number is
+		printed after it.  If the function is a member of a
+		cycle, the cycle number is printed between the
+		function's name and the index number.
+
+
+ For the function's parents, the fields have the following meanings:
+
+     self	This is the amount of time that was propagated directly
+		from the function into this parent.
+
+     children	This is the amount of time that was propagated from
+		the function's children into this parent.
+
+     called	This is the number of times this parent called the
+		function `/' the total number of times the function
+		was called.  Recursive calls to the function are not
+		included in the number after the `/'.
+
+     name	This is the name of the parent.  The parent's index
+		number is printed after it.  If the parent is a
+		member of a cycle, the cycle number is printed between
+		the name and the index number.
+
+ If the parents of the function cannot be determined, the word
+ `<spontaneous>' is printed in the `name' field, and all the other
+ fields are blank.
+
+ For the function's children, the fields have the following meanings:
+
+     self	This is the amount of time that was propagated directly
+		from the child into the function.
+
+     children	This is the amount of time that was propagated from the
+		child's children to the function.
+
+     called	This is the number of times the function called
+		this child `/' the total number of times the child
+		was called.  Recursive calls by the child are not
+		listed in the number after the `/'.
+
+     name	This is the name of the child.  The child's index
+		number is printed after it.  If the child is a
+		member of a cycle, the cycle number is printed
+		between the name and the index number.
+
+ If there are any cycles (circles) in the call graph, there is an
+ entry for the cycle-as-a-whole.  This entry shows who called the
+ cycle (as parents) and the members of the cycle (as children.)
+ The `+' recursive calls entry shows the number of function calls that
+ were internal to the cycle, and the calls entry for each member shows,
+ for that member, how many times it was called from other members of
+ the cycle.

+
+ This table describes the call tree of the program, and was sorted by
+ the total amount of time spent in each function and its children.
+
+ Each entry in this table consists of several lines.  The line with the
+ index number at the left hand margin lists the current function.
+ The lines above it list the functions that called this function,
+ and the lines below it list the functions this one called.
+ This line lists:
+     index	A unique number given to each element of the table.
+		Index numbers are sorted numerically.
+		The index number is printed next to every function name so
+		it is easier to look up where the function in the table.
+
+     % time	This is the percentage of the `total' time that was spent
+		in this function and its children.  Note that due to
+		different viewpoints, functions excluded by options, etc,
+		these numbers will NOT add up to 100%.
+
+     self	This is the total amount of time spent in this function.
+
+     children	This is the total amount of time propagated into this
+		function by its children.
+
+     called	This is the number of times the function was called.
+		If the function called itself recursively, the number
+		only includes non-recursive calls, and is followed by
+		a `+' and the number of recursive calls.
+
+     name	The name of the current function.  The index number is
+		printed after it.  If the function is a member of a
+		cycle, the cycle number is printed between the
+		function's name and the index number.
+
+
+ For the function's parents, the fields have the following meanings:
+
+     self	This is the amount of time that was propagated directly
+		from the function into this parent.
+
+     children	This is the amount of time that was propagated from
+		the function's children into this parent.
+
+     called	This is the number of times this parent called the
+		function `/' the total number of times the function
+		was called.  Recursive calls to the function are not
+		included in the number after the `/'.
+
+     name	This is the name of the parent.  The parent's index
+		number is printed after it.  If the parent is a
+		member of a cycle, the cycle number is printed between
+		the name and the index number.
+
+ If the parents of the function cannot be determined, the word
+ `<spontaneous>' is printed in the `name' field, and all the other
+ fields are blank.
+
+ For the function's children, the fields have the following meanings:
+
+     self	This is the amount of time that was propagated directly
+		from the child into the function.
+
+     children	This is the amount of time that was propagated from the
+		child's children to the function.
+
+     called	This is the number of times the function called
+		this child `/' the total number of times the child
+		was called.  Recursive calls by the child are not
+		listed in the number after the `/'.
+
+     name	This is the name of the child.  The child's index
+		number is printed after it.  If the child is a
+		member of a cycle, the cycle number is printed
+		between the name and the index number.
+
+ If there are any cycles (circles) in the call graph, there is an
+ entry for the cycle-as-a-whole.  This entry shows who called the
+ cycle (as parents) and the members of the cycle (as children.)
+ The `+' recursive calls entry shows the number of function calls that
+ were internal to the cycle, and the calls entry for each member shows,
+ for that member, how many times it was called from other members of
+ the cycle.

 </p>
+The following code will fail to compile.  The failure will occur on a line with a

+Here, we refer to this as a compile time trap.
+<code style="white-space: normal"><pre>

+
+unless the tracking_level serialization trait is set to "track_never". The following
+will compile without problem:
+
+<code style="white-space: normal"><pre>
+const T t
+ar &lt;&lt; t;
+</pre></code>
+
+Likewise, the following code will trap at compile time:
+
+<code style="white-space: normal"><pre>
+T * t;
+ar >> t;
+</pre></code>
+
+if the tracking_level serialization trait is set to "track_never".
+<p>
+
+This behavior has been contraversial and may be revised in the future. The criticism 
+is that it will flag code that is in fact correct and force users to insert
+<code style="white-space: normal">const_cast</code>. My view is that:
+<ul>
+  <li>The trap is useful in detecting a certain class of programming errors.
+  <li>Such errors would otherwise be difficult to detect.
+  <li>The incovenience caused by including this trap is very small in relation
+  to its benefits.
+</ul>
+
+The following case illustrates my position.  It was originally used as an example in the
+mailing list by Peter Dimov.
+
+<code style="white-space: normal"><pre>
+class construct_from 
+{ 
+    ... 
+}; 
+
+void main(){ 
+    ... 
+    Y y; 
+    construct_from x(y); 
+    ar &lt;&lt; x; 
+} 
+</pre></code>
+
+Suppose that there is no trap as described above.
+<ol>
+  <li>this example compiles and executes fine. No tracking is done because 
+  construct_from has never been serialized through a pointer. Now some time 
+  later, the next programmer(2) comes along and makes an enhancement. He 
+  wants the archive to be sort of a log. 
+
+<code style="white-space: normal"><pre>
+void main(){ 
+    ... 
+    Y y; 
+    construct_from x(y); 
+    ar &lt;&lt; x; 
+    ... 
+    x.f(); // change x in some way 
+   ... 
+    ar &lt;&lt; x 
+} 
+</pre></code>
+  <p>
+  Again no problem. He gets two different of copies in the archive, each one is different. 
+  That is he gets exactly what he expects and is naturally delighted. 
+  <p>
+  <li>Now sometime later, a third programmer(3) sees construct_from and says - 
+  oh cool, just what I need. He writes a function in a totally disjoint 
+  module. (The project is so big, he doesn't even realize the existence of 
+  the original usage) and writes something like: 
+
+<code style="white-space: normal"><pre>
+class K { 
+    shared_ptr &lt;construct_from&gt; z; 
+    template &lt;class Archive&gt; 
+    void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned version){ 
+        ar &lt;&lt; z; 
+    } 
+}; 
+</pre></code>
+
+  <p>
+  He builds and runs the program and tests his new functionality. It works 
+  great and he's delighted. 
+  <p>
+  <li>Things continue smoothly as before.  A month goes by and it's 
+  discovered that when loading the archives made in the last month (reading the 
+  log). Things don't work. The second log entry is always the same as the 
+  first. After a series of very long and increasingly acrimonius email exchanges, 
+its discovered 
+  that programmer (3) accidently broke programmer(2)'s code .This is because by 
+  serializing via a pointer, the "log" object now being tracked.  This is because
+  the default tracking behavior is "track_selectively".  This means that class
+  instances are tracked only if they are serialized through pointers anywhere in
+  the program. Now multiple saves from the same address result in only the first one 
+  being written to the archive. Subsequent saves only add the address - even though the 
+  data might have been changed.  When it comes time to load the data, all instances of the log record show the same data.
+  In this way, the behavior of a functioning piece of code is changed due the side
+  effect of a change in an otherwise disjoint module.
+  Worse yet, the data has been lost and cannot not be now recovered from the archives.
+  People are really upset and disappointed with boost (at least the serialization system).
+  <p>
+  <li>
+  After a lot of investigation, it's discovered what the source of the problem
+  and class construct_from is marked "track_never" by including:
+<code style="white-space: normal"><pre>
+BOOST_CLASS_TRACKING(construct_from, track_never) 
+</pre></code>
+  <li>Now everything works again. Or - so it seems.
+  <p>
+  <li><code style="white-space: normal">shared_ptr&lt;construct_from&gt;</code>
+is not going to have a single raw pointer shared amongst the instances. Each loaded 
+<code style="white-space: normal">shared_ptr&lt;construct_from&gt;</code> is going to 
+have its own distinct raw pointer. This will break 
+<code style="white-space: normal">shared_ptr</code> and cause a memory leak.  Again,
+The cause of this problem is very far removed from the point of discovery.  It could 
+well be that the problem is not even discovered until after the archives are loaded.
+Now we not only have difficult to find and fix program bug, but we have a bunch of
+invalid archives and lost data.
+</ol>
+
+Now consider what happens when the trap is enabled:. 
+
+<ol>
+  <p>
+  <li>Right away, the program traps at 
+<code style="white-space: normal"><pre>
+ar &lt;&lt; x; 
+</pre></code>
+  <p>
+  <li>The programmer curses (another %^&*&* hoop to jump through). If he's in a 
+  hurry (and who isn't) and would prefer not to <code style="white-space: normal">const_cast</code>
+  - because it looks bad.  So he'll just make the following change an move on. 
+<code style="white-space: normal"><pre>
+Y y; 
+const construct_from x(y); 
+ar &lt;&lt; x; 
+</pre></code>
+  <p>
+  Things work fine and he moves on. 
+  <p>
+  <li>Now programer (2) wants to make his change - and again another 
+  annoying const issue; 
+<code style="white-space: normal"><pre>
+Y y; 
+const construct_from x(y); 
+... 
+x.f(); // change x in some way ; compile error f() is not const 
+... 
+ar &lt;&lt; x 
+</pre></code>
+  <p>
+  He's mildly annoyed now he tries the following: 
+  <ul>
+    <li>He considers making f() a const - but presumable that shifts the const 
+    error to somewhere else. And his doesn't want to fiddle with "his" code to 
+    work around a quirk in the serializaition system 
+    <p>
+    <li>He removes the <code style="white-space: normal">const</code>
+    from <code style="white-space: normal">const construct_from</code> above - damn now he 
+    gets the trap. If he looks at the comment code where the 
+    <code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT</code>
+    occurs, he'll do one of two things 
+    <ol>
+      <p>
+      <li>This is just crazy. Its making my life needlessly difficult and flagging 
+      code that is just fine. So I'll fix this with a <code style="white-space: normal">const_cast</code>
+      and fire off a complaint to the list and mabe they will fix it. 
+      In this case, the story branches off to the previous scenario.
+      <p>
+      <li>Oh, this trap is suggesting that the default serialization isn't really 
+      what I want. Of course in this particular program it doesn't matter. But 
+      then the code in the trap can't really evaluate code in other modules (which 
+      might not even be written yet). OK, I'll add the following to my 
+      construct_from.hpp to solve the problem. 
+<code style="white-space: normal"><pre>
+BOOST_CLASS_TRACKING(construct_from, track_never) 
+</pre></code>
+    </ol>
+  </ul>
+  <p>
+  <li>Now programmer (3) comes along and make his change. The behavior of the 
+  original (and distant module) remains unchanged because the 
+  <code style="white-space: normal">construct_from</code> trait has been set to 
+  "track_never" so he should always get copies and the log should be what we expect.
+  <p>
+  <li>But now he gets another trap - trying to save an object of a 
+  class marked "track_never" through a pointer. So he goes back to 
+  construct_from.hpp and comments out the 
+  <code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_CLASS_TRACKING</code> that 
+  was inserted. Now the second trap is avoided, But damn - the first trap is 
+  popping up again. Eventually, after some code restructuring, the differing
+  requirements of serializating <code style="white-space: normal">construct_from</code>
+  are reconciled.
+</ol>
+Note that in this second scenario
+<ul>
+  <li>all errors are trapped at compile time.
+  <li>no invalid archives are created.
+  <li>no data is lost.
+  <li>no runtime errors occur.
+</ul>
+
+It's true that these traps may sometimes flag code that is currently correct and
+that this may be annoying to some programmers.  However, this example illustrates
+my view that these traps are useful and that any such annoyance is small price to
+pay to avoid particularly vexing programming errors.

-<h2><a name="recent_improvements"></a>Differences from Draft #20</h2>
+<h2><a name="differences_1_35"></a>Differences from Boost 1.35</h2>
 <ul>
-    <li>Support for <em>Argument Dependent Looup</em> for serialization override invocations.
+    <li>The library is now thread safe.  That is, multiple archives can be open
+    in different threads.  This has been implmented with a lock-free algorithm
+    to avoid any performance bottlenecks.
+    <li>Serialization of types defined in shared libraries is now supported.
+    shared libraries (DLLS) can be loaded/unloaded dynamically at runtime.
+    This includes the serialization of instances of abstract base classes so that
+    a program can be written so as to be compatible with as yet undefined
+    and un-implemented code.
+    <li>The extended type info system has been enhanced to in order to implement
+    the above.  It is now a general purpose system for creating and casting of
+    types about which is only known a string ID and an abstract base class.
+    <li>All bug reports filed as TRAK tickets have been addressed.
+    <li>As of this writing, the library will fail build on older compilers such
+    as MSVC before version 7.1 and older versions of Borland compilers.  This
+    might or might not change in the future.
+</ul>
+
+<h2><a name="differences_1_34"></a>Differences from Boost 1.34</h2>
+<ul>
+    <li>Enhanced support for fast serialization for native binary archives. By Mattias Troyer.
+    <li>Improved implementation of "export" functionality.  Removes header ordering
+        requirement and eliminates the maintenance of a pre-determined list of "known archives"
+        By David Abrahams.
+    <li>Improved support for STLPort.
+</ul>
+
+<h2><a name="differences_1_33"></a>Differences from Boost 1.33</h2>
+<ul>
+    <li>Native Binary archives use the <code style="white-space: normal">std::streambuf</code> interface.
+    This should result in noticeably faster execution in many cases.
+</ul>
+
+<h2><a name="differences_1_32"></a>Differences from Boost 1.32</h2>
+<ul>
+    <li>Dynamic Linking Library (DLLs and shared libraries) for platforms which support them. See
+    <a href="../../../more/getting_started/windows.html#auto-linking">Automatic Linking on Windows</a>.
+    <li>Implementation of auto-link for compilers which can support this.
+    <li>Better support for <em>Argument Dependent Lookup</em> and two-phase lookup.
+    This results in simpler rules regarding the placing of serialization specializations
+    namespaces.
     <li>Enhanced documentation to help explain usage of the above.
     <li>Adjustments to improve support for less conformant compilers.
-    <li>A few bug fixes.
+    <li>Improved <code>const</code> correctness for save/load operators.  Note that this may
+    produce compile time errors in code which compiled without problem in earlier boost releases.
+    In most cases the fix is trivial.  In other cases, code should be scrutinized to be
+    sure that it doesn't use the serialization system in a way which may introduce subtle bugs in
+    to the program.  A fuller explanation of this issue can be found
+    <a target="detail" href="traits.html#tracking">here</a>.
+    <li>A new implementation of serialization for <code style="white-space: normal">shared_ptr&lt;T&gt;</code>.  This
+    is compatible with public interface of <code style="white-space: normal">shared_ptr&lt;T&gt;</code>
+    so it should be more robust and not have to change in the future.  The implementation optionally
+    includes code to load <code style="white-space: normal">shared_ptr&lt;T&gt;</code> stored in 
+    archives created with boost 1.32.  This code is stored in the header:
+    <code style="white-space: normal">boost/serialization/shared_ptr_132.hpp</code>. If your application
+    needs to load archives created with boost 1.32 libraries, include the above header
+    before each inclusion of <code style="white-space: normal">boost/serialization/shared_ptr.hpp</code>.
+    <li>More compilers tested and supported.
+    <li>Miscellaneous bug fixes.
 </ul>
 
 <h2><a name="todo"></a>Pending issues</h2>
 <ul>
-    <li>Compile, and test on more platforms
-    <li>implement <code>is_virtual_base&lt;T&gt;</code> to automatically
-    eliminate redundancy in virtual base class serialization.
     <li>currently can't serialize through a pointer an object a of class
     that implements its own <code style="white-space: normal">new/delete</code> operators.
-</ul>
+    <li>Its possible that <code style="white-space: normal">std::string</code>
+    and <code style="white-space: normal">std::wstring</code> contain characters such as
+    '\0' and -1 (EOF) which cannot be rendered in text and XML archives without an escape mechanism.
+    Currently there is no such escape mechanism implemented.
+    <li>A subtle error in the implementation of serializaton of <code style="white-space: normal">std::map</code>
+    is fixed in this version.  Unfortunately, the fix breaks serialization of
+    <code style="white-space: normal">std::map</code> for those compilers which do not support
+    partial template specialization.
+ </ul>
+<p>
+Aside from the above, there are a number of issues related to specific platforms.  
+These are listed in <a href="implementation.html#othercompilerissues">Specific Compiler/Library Issues</a>.

-The header file <a target="serialization_hpp" 
-href="../../../boost/serialization/serialization.hpp">
-<code style="white-space: normal">serialization.hpp</code></a> contains public interface to the
-serialization library.  This entire interface consists of three overridable
-function templates.  
-<h4><a name="member">Member Function</a></h4>
-The first of these three templates is:
+
+A type <code style="white-space: normal">T</code> is <strong>Serializable</strong>

+<ul>
+  <li>it is a primitive type.<br>
+    In this document, we use the term primitive type to mean
+    types whose data is simply saved/loaded to/from an archive
+    with no further processing.  Arithmetic (including characters), 
+    bool, enum and stl::string and stl::wstring types are primitive types.  Using 
+    <a target="detail" href="traits.html#Traits">serialization traits</a>,
+    any user type can also be designated as "primitive"
+    so that it is handled in this way.
+  <li>It is a class type and one of the following has been declared according
+    to the prototypes detailed below:

+<h2><a name="primitiveoperators">Primitive Types</a></h2>
+The template operators &amp;, &lt;&lt;, and &gt;&gt; of the archive classes 
+described above will generate code to save/load all primitive types
+to/from an archive.  This code will usually just add the
+data to the archive according to the archive format.
+For example, a four byte integer is appended to a binary archive
+as 4 binary bytes while a to a text archive it would be 
+rendered as a space followed by a string representation.

+<h2><a name="classoperators">Class Types</a></h2>
+For class/struct types, the template operators &amp;, &lt;&lt;, and &gt;&gt;

+class/struct for which no serialization has been explicitly specified
+will result in a compile time error.  The serialiation of a class can
+be specified via either a class member function or a free funcation which
+takes a reference to an instance of the class as an argument.

+<h2><a name="pointeroperators">Pointers</a></h2>
+A pointer to any class instance can be serialized with any of the archive 
+save/load operators.
+<p>
+To properly save and restore an object through a pointer the
+following situations must be addressed:
+<ol>
+    <li>If the same object is saved multiple times through different
+    pointers, only one copy of the object need be saved.
+    <li>If an object is loaded multiple times through different pointers,
+    only one new object should be created and all returned pointers
+    should point to it.
+    <li>The system must detect the case where an object is first
+    saved through a pointer then the object itself is saved.
+    Without taking extra precautions, loading would result in the
+    creation of multiple copies of the original object. This system detects
+    this case when saving and throws an exception - see below.
+    <li>An object of a derived class may be stored through a
+    pointer to the base class. The true type of the object must
+    be determined and saved. Upon restoration the correct type
+    must be created and its address correctly cast to the base
+    class. That is, polymorphic pointers have to be considered.
+    <li>NULL pointers must be dectected when saved and restored
+    to NULL when deserialized.
+</ol>
+
+This serialization library addresses all of the above
+considerations. The process of saving and loading an object
+through a pointer is non-trivial. It can be summarized as
+follows:
+<p>Saving a pointer:
+<ol>
+    <li>determine the true type of the object being pointed to.
+    <li>write a special tag to the archive
+    <li>if the object pointed to has not already been written
+    to the archive, do so now
+</ol>
+Loading a pointer:
+<ol>
+    <li>read a tag from the archive.
+    <li>determine the type of object to be created
+    <li>if the object has already been loaded, return it's address.
+    <li>otherwise, create a new instance of the object
+    <li>read the data back in using the operators described above
+    <li>return the address of the newly created object.
+</ol>
+
+Given that class instances are saved/loaded to/from the archive
+only once, regardless of how many times they are serialized with
+the <code style="white-space: normal">&lt;&lt;</code> 
+and <code style="white-space: normal">&gt;&gt;</code> operators
+<ul>
+    <li>Loading the same pointer object multiple times
+    results in only one object being created, thereby replicating
+    the original pointer configuration. 
+    <li>Structures such as collections of polymorphic pointers,
+    are handled with no special effort on the part of users of this library.
+</ul>
+Serialization of pointers of derived types through a pointer to the
+base class may require a little extra "help".  Also, the programmer
+may desire to modify the process described above for his own reasons.
+For example, it might be desired to suppress the tracking of objects
+as it is known a priori that the application in question can never
+create duplicate objects.  Serialization of pointers can be "fine tuned"
+via the specification of <a target="detail" href="traits.html#Traits">Class Serialization Traits</a>

+class base {
+    ...
+};
+class derived_one : public base {
+    ...
+};
+class derived_two : public base {
+    ...
+};
+main(){
+    ...
+    base *b;
+    ...
+    ar &amp; b; 
+}
+</code></pre>
+When saving <code style="white-space: normal">b</code> what kind of object should be saved? 
+When loading <code style="white-space: normal">b</code> what kind of object should be created? 
+Should it be an object of class <code style="white-space: normal">derived_one</code>,
+<code style="white-space: normal">derived_two</code>, or maybe <code style="white-space: normal">base</code>?
+<p>
+It turns out that the kind of object serialized depends upon whether the base class
+(<code style="white-space: normal">base</code> in this case) is polymophic or not.
+If <code style="white-space: normal">base</code> is not polymorphic, that is if it has no
+virtual functions, then an object of the type <code style="white-space: normal">base</code>
+will be serialized. Information in any derived classes will be lost. If this is what is desired
+(it usually isn't) then no other effort is required.
+<p>
+
+If the base class is polymorphic, an object of the most derived type
+(<code style="white-space: normal">derived_one</code>
+or <code style="white-space: normal">derived_two</code>
+in this case) will be serialized.  The question of which type of object is to be
+serialized is (almost) automatically handled by the library.
+<p>
+The system "registers" each class in an archive the first time an object of that
+class it is serialized and assigns a sequential number to it.  Next time an
+object of that class is serialized in that same archive, this number is written
+in the archive.  So every class is identified uniquely within the archive.  
+When the archive is read back in, each new sequence number is re-associated with 
+the class being read.  Note that this implies that "registration" has to occur
+during both save and load so that the class-integer table built on load
+is identical to the class-integer table built on save. In fact, the key to
+whole serialization system is that things are always saved and loaded in
+the same sequence.  This includes "registration".
+<p>
+Expanding our previous example:
+<pre><code>
+main(){
+    derived_one d1;
+    derived_two d2:
+    ...
+    ar &amp; d1;
+    ar &amp; d2;
+    // A side effect of serialization of objects d1 and d2 is that
+    // the classes derived_one and derived_two become known to the archive.
+    // So subsequent serialization of those classes by base pointer works
+    // without any special considerations.
+    base *b;
+    ...
+    ar &amp; b; 
+}
+</code></pre>
+When <code style="white-space: normal">b</code> is read it is
+preceded by a unique (to the archive) class identifier which
+has previously been related to class <code style="white-space: normal">derived_one</code> or
+<code style="white-space: normal">derived_two</code>.
+<p>
+If a derived class has NOT been automatically "registered" as described
+above, an <a target="detail" href="exceptions.html#unregistered_class">
+<code style="white-space: normal">unregistered_class</code></a> exception 
+will be thrown when serialization is invoked.
+<p>
+This can be addressed by registering the derived class explicitly.  All archives are
+derived from a base class which implements the following template:
+<pre><code>
+template&lt;class T&gt;
+register_type();
+</code></pre>
+So our problem could just as well be addressed by writing:
+<pre><code>
+main(){
+    ...
+    ar.template register_type&lt;derived_one&gt;();
+    ar.template register_type&lt;derived_two&gt;();
+    base *b;
+    ...
+    ar &amp; b; 
+}
+</code></pre>
+Note that if the serialization function is split between save and load, both
+functions must include the registration.  This is required to keep the save
+and corresponding load in syncronization.
+
+<h4><a name="export">Export</a></h4>
+The above will work but may be inconvenient.  We don't always know which derived
+classes we are going to serialize when we write the code to serialize through
+a base class pointer.  Every time a new derived class is written we have to
+go back to all the places where the base class is serialized and update the
+code.
+<p>
+So we have another method:
+<pre><code>
+#include &lt;boost/serialization/export.hpp&gt;
+...
+BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID(derived_one, "derived_one")
+BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID(derived_two, "derived_two")
+
+main(){
+    ...
+    base *b;
+    ...
+    ar &amp; b; 
+}
+</code></pre>
+The macro <code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID</code> associates a string literal
+with a class. In the above example we've used a string rendering
+of the class name. If a object of such an "exported" class is serialized
+through a pointer and is otherwise unregistered, the "export" string is 
+included in the archive. When the archive 
+is later read, the string literal is used to find the class which 
+should be created by the serialization library.
+This permits each class to be in a separate header file along with its 
+string identifier. There is no need to maintain a separate "pre-registration" 
+of derived classes that might be serialized.  This method of
+registration is referred to as "key export".  More information on this
+topic is found in the section Class Traits - 
+<a target="detail" href="traits.html#export">Export Key</a>.
+<p>
+<h4><a name="instantiation">Instantiation</a></h4>
+Registration by means of any of the above methods fulfill another role 
+whose importance might not be obvious.  This system relies on templated
+functions of the form <code style="white-space: normal">template&lt;class Archive, class T&gt;</code>.
+This means that serialization code must be instantiated for each
+combination of archive and data type that is serialized in the program.
+<p>
+Polymorphic pointers of derived classes may never be referred to 
+explictly by the program so normally code to serialize such classes
+would never be instantiated.  So in addition to including export key
+strings in an archive, <code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID</code> explicitly
+instantiates the class serialization code for all archive classes used 
+by the program.  
+
+<h4><a name="selectivetracking">Selective Tracking</a></h4>
+Whether or not an object is tracked is determined by its
+<a target="detail" href="traits.html#tracking">object tracking trait</a>.
+The default setting for user defined types is <code style="white-space: normal">track_selectively</code>.
+That is, track objects if and only if they are serialized through pointers anywhere
+in the program. Any  objects that are "registered" by any of the above means are presumed
+to be serialized through pointers somewhere in the program and therefore
+would be tracked. In certain situations this could lead to an inefficiency.
+Suppose we have a class module used by multiple programs.  Because
+some programs serializes polymorphic pointers to objects of this class, we 
+<a target="detail" href="traits.html#export">export</a> a class
+identifier by specifying <code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT</code> in the
+class header.  When this module is included by another program,
+objects of this class will always be tracked even though it
+may not be necessary.  This situation could be addressed by using 
+<a target="detail" href="traits.html#tracking"><code style="white-space: normal">track_never</code></a>  
+in those programs.
+<p>
+It could also occur that even though a program serializes through 
+a pointer, we are more concerned with efficiency than avoiding the
+the possibility of creating duplicate objects.  It could be
+that we happen to know that there will be no duplicates.  It could
+also be that the creation of a few duplicates is benign and not
+worth avoiding given the runtime cost of tracking duplicates.
+Again, <a target="detail" href="traits.html#tracking"><code style="white-space: normal">track_never</code></a>  
+can be used.
+<h4><a name="runtimecasting">Runtime Casting</a></h4>
+In order to properly translate between base and derived pointers
+at runtime, the system requires each base/derived pair be found
+in a table.  A side effect of serializing a base object with
+<code style="white-space: normal">boost::serialization::base_object&lt;Base&gt;(Derived &)</code>
+is to ensure that the base/derived pair is added to the table
+before the <code style="white-space: normal">main</code> function is entered.
+This is very convenient and results in a clean syntax.  The only
+problem is that it can occur where a derived class serialized
+through a pointer has no need to invoke the serialization of
+its base class.  In such a case, there are two choices.  The obvious
+one is to invoke the base class serialization with <code style="white-space: normal">base_object</code>
+and specify an empty function for the base class serialization.
+The alternative is to "register" the Base/Derived relationship
+explicitly by invoking the template 
+<code style="white-space: normal">void_cast_register&lt;Derived, Base&gt;();</code>.
+Note that this usage of the term "register" is not related
+to its usage in the previous section.  Here is an example of how this is done:
+<pre><code>
+#include &lt;sstream&gt;
+#include &lt;boost/serialization/serialization.hpp&gt;

+The previously described serialization of <code style="white-space: normal">shared_ptr</code>
+illustrates the straightforward way of serializing a moderately complicated class structure.

+  <li>It was dependent on the Boost implementation of <code style="white-space: normal">shared_ptr</code>.
+  The <code style="white-space: normal">shared_ptr</code> interface has been included

+  C++ library. An implementation which depends only on the public interface can be guaranteed to
+  function with any other future implementation of <code style="white-space: normal">shared_ptr</code>.

+<h3><a name="motivation">Motivation</a></h3>
+The serialization library relies on the existence of a number
+of static variables and tables to store information related
+to runtime types.  Examples are tables which relate exported
+names to types and tables which relate base classes to derived
+classes.  Construction, destruction and usage of these variables
+requires consideration of the following issues:
+<ul>
+  <li>Some static data variables and constants  entries refer to others.  
+  The sequence of initialization cannot be arbitrary but must be in proper
+  sequence.</li>
+  <li>A number of static variables aren't referred explicitly and, without
+  special precautions, will be stripped by most code optimizers</li>
+  <li>Many of these variables are created by templates and special care must
+  be taken to be sure that they are instantiated</li>
+  <li>In a multi-threading system, its possible that these static variables
+  will be accessed concurrently by separate threads.  This would create a
+  race condition with unpredictabe behavior</li>
+</ul>
+This singleton class addresses all of the above issues.
+
+<h3><a name="features">Features</a></h3>
+This singleton implementation has the following features:
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    Any instance will be constructed before any attempt is made to access it.</li>
+  <li>
+    Any instance created with a template is guarenteed to be instantiated.
+  <li>
+    Regardless of whether or not an instance has been explicitly
+    referred to, it will not be stripped by the optimizer when the
+    executable is built in release mode.
+  <li>
+    All instances are constructed before 
+    <code style="white-space: normal">main</code> is called
+    regardless of where they might be referenced within the program.
+    In a multi-tasking system, this guarentees that there will be no 
+    race conditions during the construction of any instance.  No
+    thread locking is required to guarentee this.
+  <li>
+    The above implies that any <code style="white-space: normal">const</code>
+    instances are thread-safe during the whole program.  Again, no
+    thread locking is required.
+  <li>
+    If a mutable instance is created, and such an instance is modified
+    after main is called in a mult-threading system, there exists
+    the possibility that a race condition will occur.  The serialization
+    library takes care that in the few places where a mutable
+    singleton is required, it is not altered after 
+    <code style="white-space: normal">main</code> is called.
+    For a more general purpose usage, thread locking on this
+    singleton could easily be implemented.  But as the serialization
+    library didn't require it, it wasn't implemented.
+</ul>

+In order to be used as 
+<a target="singleton.hpp" href = "../../../boost/serialization/singleton.hpp">
+<code style="white-space: normal">
+singleton&lt;T&gt;
+</code> 
+</a>
+, the type T must be default constructable.
+It doesn't require static variables - though it may have them.
+Since the library guarentees that only one instance of 
+<a target="singleton.hpp" href = "../../../boost/serialization/singleton.hpp">
+<code style="white-space: normal">
+singleton&lt;T&gt;
+</code> 
+</a>
+and all accesss is through the above static interface
+functions, common member functions of T become
+the functional equivalent of 
+<code style="white-space: normal">static</code> functions.
+
+<h3><a name="example">Examples</a></h3>
+There are at least two different ways to use this class template.
+Both are used in the serialization library.
+<p>
+The first way is illustrated by and excerpt from the file
+<code style="white-space: normal"><a target="extended_type_info" href="../src/extended_type_info.cpp">extended_type_info.cpp</a></code>.
+which contains the following code:
+
+<pre><code>
+typedef std::set<const extended_type_info *, key_compare> ktmap;
+...
+void
+extended_type_info::key_register(const char *key) {
+    ...
+    result = singleton<ktmap>::get_mutable_instance().insert(this);
+    ...
+}
+</code></pre>
+Just by referring to the singleton instance anywhere in the program
+will guarentee that one and only one instance for the specified
+type (<code style="white-space: normal">ktmap</code> in this example) 
+will exist throughout the program.  There is no need for anyother
+declaration or definition.
+<p>
+A second way is to use 
+<a target="singleton.hpp" href = "../../../boost/serialization/singleton.hpp">
+<code style="white-space: normal">
+singleton&lt;T&gt;
+</code> 
+</a>
+as one of the base classes of the type.  This is illustrated by a simplified
+excerpt from
+<a target="extended_type_info_typeid.hpp" href = "../../../boost/serialization/extended_type_info_typeid.hpp">
+<code style="white-space: normal">
+extended_type_info_typeid.hpp
+</code> 
+</a>
+
+<pre><code>
+template&lt;class T&gt;
+class extended_type_info_typeid : 
+    public detail::extended_type_info_typeid_0,
+    public singleton&lt;extended_type_info_typeid&lt;const T&gt; &gt;
+{
+    friend class singleton&lt;extended_type_info_typeid&lt;const T&gt; &gt;;
+private:
+    // private constructor to inhibit any existence other than the 
+    // static one.  Note: not all compilers support this !!!
+    extended_type_info_typeid() :
+        detail::extended_type_info_typeid_0()
+    {
+        type_register(typeid(T));
+    }
+    ~extended_type_info_typeid(){}
+    ...
+};
+</code></pre>
+
+This usage will permit a more natural syntax to be used:
+<pre><code>
+extended_type_info_typeid&lt;T&gt;::get_const_instance()
+</code></pre>
+
+Again, including one or more of the above statements anywhere
+in the program will guarentee that one and only one instance
+is created and referred to.
+
+<h3><a name="multithreading">Multi-Threading</a></h3>
+This singleton CAN be safely used in multi-threading applications if one
+is careful follow a simple rule:
+<p>
+<b>Do not call get_mutable_instance when more than one thread is running!</b>
+<p>
+All singletons used in the serialization library follow this rule.  
+In order to help detect accidental violations of this rule there
+exists an singleton lock/unlock functions.
+<pre><code>
+boost::serialization::global_lock::get_mutable_instance().lock();
+boost::serialization::global_lock::get_mutable_instance().unlock();
+</code></pre>
+In a program compiled for debug, any invocation of 
+<code style="white-space: normal">get_mutable_instance()</code>
+while the library is in a "locked" state will trap in an assertion.
+The global_lock state is initialized as "unlocked" to permit
+alteration of static variables before 
+<code style="white-space: normal">main</code> is called. All
+serialization tests invoke <code style="white-space: normal">lock()</code>
+at the start of the progam.  For programs compiled in release
+mode these functions have no effect.

-Consider the following:
-<pre><code>
-class base {
-    ...
-};
-class derived_one : public base {
-    ...
-};
-class derived_two : public base {
-    ...
-};
-main(){
-    ...
-    base *b;
-    ar &amp; b; 
-}
-</code></pre>
-When loading <code style="white-space: normal">b</code> what kind of object should be created? 
-An object of class <code style="white-space: normal">derived_one</code>,
-<code style="white-space: normal">derived_two</code>, or maybe <code style="white-space: normal">base</code>?
-<p>
-If this situation is not addressed by one of the methods described below,
-an <a target="detail" href="exceptions.html#unregistered_class">
-<code style="white-space: normal">unregistered_class</code></a> exception will be thrown when serialization is
-invoked.
-<p>Many times this situation is resolved automatically by the serialization
-library.
-<p>
-The system "registers" each class in an archive the first time an object of that
-class it is serialized and assigns a sequential number to it.  Next time an
-object of that class is serialized in that same archive, this number is written
-in the archive.  So every class is identified uniquely within the archive.  
-When the archive is read back in, each new sequence number is re-associated with 
-the class being read.  Note that this implies that "registration" has to occur
-during both save and load so that the class-integer table built on load
-is identical to the class-integer table built on save. In fact, the key to
-whole serialization system is that things are always saved and loaded in
-the same sequence.  This includes "registration"
-<p>
-In many situations the problem never comes up. Consider:
-<pre><code>
-main(){
-    derived_one d1;
-    derived_two d2:
-    ...
-    ar &gt;&gt; d1;
-    ar &gt;&gt; d2;
-    // A side effect of serialization of objects d1 and d2 is that
-    // the classes derived_one and derived_two become known to the archive.
-    // So subsequent serialization of those classes by base pointer works
-    // without any special considerations.
-    base *b;
-    ar &amp; b; 
-}
-</code></pre>
-Here, the problem doesn't present itself. When <code style="white-space: normal">b</code> is read it is
-preceded by a unique (to the archive) class identifier which
-has previously been related to class <code style="white-space: normal">derived_one</code> or
-<code style="white-space: normal">derived_two</code>.
-<p>
-If a derived class hasn't been automatically "registered" as described
-above, we have the option of registering it explicitly.  All archives are
-derived from a base class which implements the following template:
-<pre><code>
-template&lt;class T&gt;
-register_type();
-</code></pre>
-So our problem could just as well be addressed by writing:
-<pre><code>
-main(){
-    ...
-    ar.template register_type&lt;derived_one&gt;();
-    ar.template register_type&lt;derived_two&gt;();
-    base *b;
-    ar &amp; b; 
-}
-</code></pre>
-Note that if the serialization function is split between save and load, both
-functions must include the registration.  This is required to keep the save
-and corresponding load in syncronization.
-<p>
-This will work but may be inconvenient.  We don't always know which derived
-classes we are going to serialize when we write the code to serialize through
-a base class pointer.  Every time a new derived class is written we have to
-go back to all the places where the base class is serialized and update the
-code.
-<p>
-So we have another method:
-<pre><code>
-#include &lt;boost/serialization/export.hpp&gt;
-...
-BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID(derived_one, "derived_one")
-BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID(derived_two, "derived_two")
-
-main(){
-    ...
-    base *b;
-    ar &amp; b; 
-}
-</code></pre>
-The macro <code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID</code> associates a string literal
-with a class. In the above example we've used a string rendering
-of the class name. If a object of such an "exported" class is serialized
-through a pointer and is otherwise unregistered, the "export" string is 
-included in the archive. When the archive 
-is later read, the string literal is used to find the class which 
-should be created by the serialization library.
-This permits each class to be in a separate header file along with its 
-string identifier. There is no need to maintain a separate "pre-registration" 
-of derived classes that might be serialized.  This method of
-registration is referred to as "key export".  More information on this
-topic is found in the section Class Traits - 
-<a target="detail" href="traits.html#export">Export Key</a>.
-<p>
-<h4><a name="instantiation">Instantiation</a></h4>
-Registration by means of any of the above methods fulfill another role 
-whose importance might not be obvious.  This system relies on templated
-functions of the form <code style="white-space: normal">template&lt;class Archive, class T&gt;</code>.
-This means that serialization code must be instantiated for each
-combination of archive and data type that is serialized in the program.
-<p>
-Polymorphic pointers of derived classes may never be referred to 
-explictly by the program so normally code to serialize such classes
-would never be instantiated.  So in addition to including export key
-strings in an archive, <code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID</code> explicitly
-instantiates the class serialization code for all archive classes used 
-by the program.  
-<p>
-In order to do this, 
-<a href="../../../boost/serialization/export.hpp" target="export_hpp">export.hpp</a>
-includes meta programming code to build a <code style="white-space: normal">mpl::list</code>  
-of all the file types used by the module by checking for definition of the header 
-inclusion guards.
-
-Using this list,  
-<code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID</code> will explicitly instantiate serialization
-code for all exported classes.
-For this implementaton to function, the header file 
-<a href="../../../boost/serialization/export.hpp" target="export_hpp">export.hpp</a>
-has to come after all the archive header files.  This is enforced
-by code at the end of the header file:
-<a href="../../../boost/archive/basic_archive.hpp" target="basic_archive_hpp">basic_archive.hpp</a>
-which will trip a STATIC_ASSERT if this requirement is violated.
-
-<h4><a name="selectivetracking">Selective Tracking</a></h4>
-Whether or not an object is tracked is determined by its
-<a target="detail" href="traits.html#tracking">object tracking trait</a>.
-The default setting for user defined types is <code style="white-space: normal">track_selectively</code>.
-That is, track objects if and only if they are serialized through pointers anywhere
-in the program. Any  objects that are "registered" by any of the above means are presumed
-to be serialized through pointers somewhere in the program and therefore
-would be tracked. In certain situations this could lead to an inefficiency.
-Suppose we have a class module used by multiple programs.  Because
-some programs serializes polymorphic pointers to objects of this class, we 
-<a target="detail" href="traits.html#export">export</a> a class
-identifier by specifying <code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT</code> in the
-class header.  When this module is included by another program,
-objects of this class will always be tracked even though it
-may not be necessary.  This situation could be addressed by using 
-<a target="detail" href="traits.html#tracking"><code style="white-space: normal">track_never</code></a>  
-in those programs.
-<p>
-It could also occur that even though a program serializes through 
-a pointer, we are more concerned with efficiency than avoiding the
-the possibility of creating duplicate objects.  It could be
-that we happen to know that there will be no duplicates.  It could
-also be that the creation of a few duplicates is benign and not
-worth avoiding given the runtime cost of tracking duplicates.
-Again, <a target="detail" href="traits.html#tracking"><code style="white-space: normal">track_never</code></a>  
-can be used.
-<h4><a name="runtimecasting">Runtime Casting</a></h4>
-In order to properly translate between base and derived pointers
-at runtime, the system requires each base/derived pair be found
-in a table.  A side effect of serializing a base object with
-<code style="white-space: normal">boost::serialization::base_object&lt;Base&gt;(Derived &)</code>
-is to ensure that the base/derived pair is added to the table
-before the <code style="white-space: normal">main</code> function is entered.
-This is very convenient and results in a clean syntax.  The only
-problem is that it can occur where a derived class serialized
-through a pointer has no need to invoke the serialization of
-its base class.  In such a case, there are two choices.  The obvious
-one is to invoke the base class serialization with <code style="white-space: normal">base_object</code>
-and specify an empty function for the base class serialization.
-The alternative is to "register" the Base/Derived relationship
-explicitly by invoking the template 
-<code style="white-space: normal">void_cast_register&lt;Base, Derived&gt;();</code>.
-Note that this usage of the term "register" is not related
-to its usage in the previous section.  Here is an example of how this is done:
-<pre><code>

+addressed by altering the above code thusly:

+<h3><a name="export">Exporting Class Serialization</a></h3>
+<a target="detail" href="traits.html#export">Elsewhere</a> in this manual, we have described 
+<code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT</code>. 
+Export implies two things:
+<ul>
+<li>Instantiates code which is not otherwise referred to.
+<li>Associates an external identifier with the class to be serialized.
+The fact that the class isn't explicitly referred to implies this
+requirement.
+</ul>
+In C++, usage of code not explicitly referred to is implemented via
+virtual functions.  Hence, the need for export is implied by the 
+usage of a derived class that is manipulated via a pointer or
+reference to it's base class.
+
+<p>
+<code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT</code> in the same
+source module that includes any of the archive class headers will
+instantiate code required to serialize polymorphic pointers of
+the indicated type to the all those archive classes. If no
+archive class headers are included, then no code will be instantiated.
+
+<p>
+Note that the implemenation of this functionality requires
+that the <code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT</code>
+macro appear <b>after</b> and the inclusion of any archive
+class headers for which code is to be instantiated.
+So, code that uses <code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT</code>
+will look like the following:
+<pre><code>
+#include &lt;boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp&gt;
+#include &lt;boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp&gt;
+... // other archives
+
+#include "a.hpp" // header declaration for class a
+BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(a)
+... // other class headers and exports
+</code></pre>
+This will be true regardless of whether the is part
+of a stand alone executable, a static library or
+a dyanmic or shared library.  
+<p>
+Note that including
+<code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT</code>
+in the "a.hpp" header itself as one would do with
+other serialization traits will make it difficult
+or impossible to follow the rule above regarding
+inclusion of archive headers before
+<code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT</code>
+is invoked.  This is different than other serialization
+traits which would normally be included in same file
+as the class declaration.
+
+<p>
+This system has certain implications for placing code in static or shared
+libraries.  Placing <code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT</code>
+in library code will have no effect unless archive class headers are
+also included.  So when building a library, one should include all headers
+for all the archive classes which he anticipates using. Alternatively,
+one can include headers for just the
+<a href="archive_reference.html#polymorphic">Polymoprhic Archives</a>.
+Also, when making shared libraries, there is currently a restriction
+that only one such library can use <code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT</code>
+for any given type. All this will most likely make it inconvenient
+to include <code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT</code>
+as part of the header of the class to be serialized. So, <b>the 
+best way to use <code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT</code>
+is to include it in the same module which implements the class</b>.
+
+<p>
+Strictly speaking, export should not be necessary if all pointer serialization
+occurs through the most derived class.  However, in order to detect
+what would be catastophic error, the library traps ALL serializations through
+a pointer to a polymorphic which are not exported or otherwise registered.
+So, in practice, be prepared to register or export all classes with one
+or more virtual functions which are serialized through a pointer. 
+
+<p>
+Note that the implementation of this functionality depends upon vendor
+specific extensions to the C++ language.  So, there is no guarenteed portability
+of programs which use this facility.  However, all C++ compilers which
+are tested with boost provide the required extensions.  The library
+includes the extra declarations required by each of these compilers.
+It's reasonable to expect that future C++ compilers will support
+these extensions or something equivalent.
+
+<h3><a name="dlls">DLLS - Serialization and Runtime Linking</a></h3>
+Serialization code can be placed in libraries to be linked at runtime.  That is,
+code can be placed in DLLS(Windows) Shared Libraries(*nix), or static libraries
+as well as the main executable.  As long as
+
+<a target="detail" href="serialization.html#export">
+<code style="white-space: normal">BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT</code>
+</a>
+
+is not used, The serialization library imposes no special requirements
+that need be taken into account when distributing code among various modules.
+<p>
+For static libraries, this is illustrated by
+<a href = "../example/demo_pimpl.cpp" target="demo_pimpl">
+<code style="white-space: normal">demo_pimpl.cpp</code>
+</a>,
+<a href = "../example/demo_pimpl_A.cpp" target="demo_pimpl">
+<code style="white-space: normal">demo_pimpl_A.cpp</code>
+</a>
+and
+<a href = "../example/demo_pimpl_A.hpp" target="demo_pimpl">
+<code style="white-space: normal">demo_pimpl_A.hpp</code>
+</a>
+where implementation of serializaton is in a static library 
+completely separate from the main program.
+
+<p>
+For runtime linked libraries this is illustrated by one of the tests:
+
+<a href = "../test/test_dll_simple.cpp" target="test_dll_simple">
+<code style="white-space: normal">test_dll_simple</code>
+</a>,
+and
+<a href = "../test/dll_A.cpp" target="dll_A">
+<code style="white-space: normal">dll_A.cpp</code>
+</a>
+where implementation of serializaton is also completely separate
+from the main program but the code is loaded at runtime.  In this
+example, this code is loaded automatically when the program which
+uses it starts up, but it could just as well be loaded and unloaded 
+with an OS dependent API call.
+
+<h3><a name="plugins">Plugins</a></h3>
+In order to implement the library, various facilities for runtime
+manipulation of types are runtime were required.  These
+are <a target="detail" href="extended_type_info.html"><code>extended_type_info</code></a>
+for associating classes with external identifying strings (<b>GUID</b>)
+and <a target="detail" href="void_cast.html"><code>void_cast</code></a>
+for casting between pointers of related types.
+
+To complete the functionality of 
+<a target="detail" href="extended_type_info.html"><code>extended_type_info</code></a>
+the ability to construct and destroy corresponding types has been
+added.  In order to use this functionality, one must specify
+how each type is created.  This should be done at the time
+a class is exported.  So, a more complete example of the code above would be:
+
+<pre><code>
+#include &lt;boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp&gt;
+#include &lt;boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp&gt;
+... // other archives
+
+#include "a.hpp" // header declaration for class a
+
+// this class has a default constructor
+BOOST_SERIALIZATION_FACTORY_0(a)
+// as well as one that takes one integer argument
+BOOST_SERIALIZATION_FACTORY_1(a, int)
+
+// specify the GUID for this class
+BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(a)
+... // other class headers and exports
+</code></pre>
+
+With this in place, one can construct, serialize and destroy
+about which only is know the <b>GUID</b> and a base class.
+
+
+<h3><a name="multi_threading">Multi-Threading</a></h3>
+The fundamental purpose of serialization would conflict with multiple 
+thread concurrently writing/reading from/to a single open archive instance.
+The library implementation presumes that the application avoids such an situtation.
+<p>
+However, Writing/Reading different archives simultaneously
+in different tasks is permitted as each archive instance is (almost) 
+completely independent from any other archive instance.  The only shared 
+information are some type tables which have been implemented using a 
+lock-free thread-safe 
+<a target="detail" href="singleton.html">
+<code style="white-space: normal">singleton</code>
+</a>
+described elsewhere in this documentation.
+<p>
+This singleton implementation guarentees that all of this shared
+information is initialized when the code module which contains
+them is loaded.  The serialization library takes care to
+ensure that these data structures are not subsequently
+modified. The only time there could be a problem would
+be if code is loaded/unloaded while another task is
+serializing data.  This could only occur for types whose 
+serialization is implemented in a dynamically loaded/unload DLL
+or shared library.  So if the following is avoided:
+<ul>
+    <li>Accessing the same archive instance from different tasks.
+    <li>Loading/Unloading DLLS or shared libraries while any archive
+    instances are open.
+</ul>
+The library should be thread safe.
+
+<h3><a name="optimizations">Optimizations</a></h3>
+In performance critical applications that serialize large sets of contiguous data of homogeneous
+types one wants to avoid the overhead of serializing each element individually, which is
+the motivation for the <a href="wrappers.html#arrays"><code>array</code></a>
+wrapper.
+
+Serialization functions for data types containing contiguous arrays of homogeneous
+types, such as for <code>std::vector</code>, <code>std::valarray</code> or  
+<code>boost::multiarray</code> should serialize them using an
+<a href="wrappers.html#arrays"><code>array</code></a> wrapper to make use of 
+these optimizations.
+
+Archive types that can provide optimized serialization for contiguous arrays of 
+homogeneous types should implement these by overloading the serialization of
+the  <a href="wrappers.html#arrays"><code>array</code></a> wrapper, as is done
+for the binary archives.

+
+These are enhancements that the serialization library needs but have not been done.
+Some of these projects, though tricky, are not huge and would be suitable
+for someone who has a limited time to spend on them.  In particular, they
+might be of interest as student projects such as the Google Summer of Code.
+
+<h2><a name="portablebinaryarchives"></a>Portable Binary Archives</h2>
+Currently there is a portable binary archive in the examples directory.
+It is not regularly submitted to the exhaustive boost testing regimen
+but it is tested occasionally and has been used in production code.
+<p>
+Its missing the following:
+<ul>
+  <li>Addition of portable floating point types.  This is not trivial.  In addition to
+  handling floating point types of varying sizes, It requires
+  handling invalid floating point numbers (NaNs) in a portable manner.
+  <li>Some way to test archive portability within the Boost testing regimen.
+  <li>Integration into the Boost testing similar to the other archive classes.
+</ul>
+
+<h2><a name="performancetesting"></a>Performance Testing and Profiling</h2>
+
+I've managed to setup performance profiling using the following:
+<ul>
+  <li>current (as I write this) Boost.Build tools.
+  <li>the gcc compiler.
+  <li>and a shell script - profile.sh
+  <li>library_status program from the tools/regression/src directory
+</ul>
+Invoking profile script produces a 
+<a href=performance_status.html">table</a>
+which shows the results of each test and links to the actual
+profile.
+<p>
+The first thing I did was include some of the serialization library tests.
+It became immediatly apparent that these tests were totally unsuitable
+for performance testing and that new tests needed to be written for this 
+purpose.  These tests would highlight the location of any performance
+bottlenecks in the serialization library.  Whenever I've subjected my
+code in the past to this type of analysis, I've always been suprised
+to find bottlenecks in totally unanticipated places and fixing those
+has always lead to large improvements in performance.  I expect that
+this project would have a huge impact on the utility of the serialization
+library.
+
+<h2><a name="backversioning"></a>Back Versioning</h2>
+
+It has been suggested that a useful feature of the library would be
+the ability to create "older versions" of archives.  Currently,
+the library permits one make programs that are guarenteed
+the ability to load archives with classes of a previous version. 
+But there is not way to save classes in accordance with a
+previous version.  At first I dismissed this a a huge project
+with small demand.  A cursory examination of the code revealed
+that this would not be very difficult.  It would require some
+small changes in code and some additional tests.  Also it
+would require special treatment in the documentation - perhaps
+a case study.
+
+
+<h2><a name="nortti"></a>Environments without RTTI</h2>
+
+I note that some have commented that this library requires RTTI.
+This is not strictly true.  The examples and almost all the
+tests presume the existence of RTTI.  But it should be possible
+to use the library without it.  The example used for testing is an 
+<code style="white-space: normal">extended_typeinfo</code> 
+implemenation which presumes that all classes names have been exported. 
+So, to make this library compatible for platforms without RTTI, 
+a set of tests, examples and new manual section would have to be created

-to an archive within the same program, this merely a convenience
-for purposes of illustration.  In general, the archive may or may
-not be loaded by the same program that created it.
+The astute reader might notice that these examples contain a subtle but important flaw.
+They leak memory. The bus stops are created in the <code style="white-space: normal">
+main</code> function.  The bus schedules may refer to these bus stops
+any number of times.  At the end of the main function after the bus schedules are destroyed,
+the bus stops are destroyed.  This seems fine.  But what about the structure
+<code style="white-space: normal">new_schedule</code> data item created by the
+process of loading from an archive? This contains its own separate set of bus stops
+that are not referenced outside of the bus schedule.  These won't be destroyed
+anywhere in the program - a memory leak.
 <p>
-The complete demo program - <a href="../example/demo.cpp" target="demo_cpp">demo.cpp</a>
-does the following:
-<ol>
-    <li>Creates a structure of differing kinds of stops, routes
-     and schedules
-    <li>Displays it
-    <li>Serializes it to a file named "testfile.txt" with one
-    statement
-    <li>Restores to another structure
-    <li>Displays the restored structure
-</ol>
-<p>
-<a href="../example/demo_output.txt" target="demo_output">Output of
-this program</a> is sufficient to verify that all the
-originally stated requirements for a serialization system
-are met with this system. The <a href="../example/demofile.txt"
-target="test_file">contents of the archive file</a> can
-also be displayed as serialization files are ASCII text.
+There are couple of ways of fixing this.  One way is to explicitly manage the bus stops.
+However, a more robust and transparent is to use 
+<code style="white-space: normal">shared_ptr</code> rather than raw pointers. Along
+with serialization implemenations for the Standard Library, the serialization library
+includes implementation of serialization for 
+<code style="white-space: normal">boost::shared ptr</code>.  Given this, it should be
+easy to alter any of these examples to eliminate the memory leak. This is left 
+as an excercise for the reader.

+<h3>Motivation</h3>
+C++ includes the operator <code style="white-space: normal">dynamic_cast&lt;T&gt;(U * u)</code>
+for casting a pointer at runtime between two related types. However, this can only be 
+used for polymorphic classes.  That is, it can only be used with related classes which have at least one virtual function.
+Limiting the serializaton of pointers to only such class would diminish the applicability
+of the library.
+
+<h3>Usage</h3>
+
+The following functions are defined in the header
+<a target="void_cast" href="../../../boost/serialization/void_cast.hpp">void_cast.hpp</a>.
+They are declared in the namespace
+<code style="white-space: normal">boost::serialization</code>.
+
+<dl>
+<dt><h4><pre><code>
+template&lt;class Derived, class Base&gt;
+const void_cast_detail::void_caster &
+void_cast_register(
+    Derived const * derived = NULL, 
+    Base * const base = NULL
+)
+</code></pre></h4></dt>
+<dd>
+This function "registers" a pair of related types.  It stores the fact that
+<code style="white-space: normal">Derived</code> is immediately derived from 
+<code style="white-space: normal">Base</code> in a global table. 
+<ul>
+  <li>This "registration" can be invoked anywhere in the program.  The table is built at
+  pre-runtime and is available anywhere else in the program.
+  <li>only adjacent base/derived pairs need be registered.  That is,
+  <pre><code>
+  void_cast_register&lt;A, B&gt;();
+  void_cast_register&lt;B, C&gt;();
+  </code></pre>
+  automatically derives the fact that A can be upcast to C and vice-versa.
+</ul>
+</dd>
+
+<dt><h4><pre><code>
+void *
+void_upcast(
+    extended_type_info const & derived_type,
+    extended_type_info const & base_type,
+    void * const t 
+);
+</code></pre></h4></dt>
+
+<dt><h4><pre><code>
+void *
+void_downcast(
+    extended_type_info const & derived_type,
+    extended_type_info const & base_type,
+    void * const t 
+);
+</code></pre></h4></dt>
+<dd>
+These functions cast a void pointer from one type to another.  The source and
+definition types are specified by passing references to the corresponding
+<a href="extended_type_info.html"><code style="white-space: normal">
+extended_type_info</code></a>
+records.  An attempt to cast between types not "registered" with
+<code style="white-space: normal">void_cast_register</code> 
+will throw a
+<a href="exceptions.html"><code style="white-space: normal">boost::archive::archive_exception</code></a>
+with value equal to
+<code style="white-space: normal">unregistered_cast</code>
+</dd>
