Judging just from:

http://philippeb8.github.io/root_ptr/root_ptr/rationale.html

I would guess a root_ptr *must* be on the stack.
However, I didn't find anything in the following:

https://github.com/philippeb8/root_ptr/blob/master/include/boost/smart_ptr/root_ptr.hpp

http://philippeb8.github.io/root_ptr/header/boost/smart_ptr/root_ptr_hpp.html

to support this.

Could you please clarify?
