basic_binary_oarchive.hpp has this member:

void save_override(const class_id_type & t, int){
   // upto 32K classes
   assert(t.t <= boost::integer_traits<boost::int_least16_t>::const_max);
   const boost::int_least16_t x
      = static_cast<const    boost::int_least16_t>(t.t);
   * this->This() << x;
}

It doesn't seem that there is a need for this runtime assert at all 
given the definition:

   BOOST_ARCHIVE_STRONG_TYPEDEF(int_least16_t, class_id_type)

Can't the assert be removed to quiet the gcc warning?
